1/2 pint fresh blueberries
1/2 pint fresh raspberries
2 bananas, sliced

Grilled French Toast Kebabs image

This handheld version of a breakfast favorite is served with grilled bacon and warm maple syrup for the ultimate sweet and salty treat-no knife and fork needed! Lining the grill with foil ensures that the French toast cooks all the way through without burning, while covering the grill lets the toast acquire a nice touch of smoky flavor.

Time 8h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Half a 12-inch brioche loaf, end discarded, bread cut into 1-inch cubes (about 48)
8 slices thick-cut bacon
1 1/2 cups well-shaken buttermilk
4 large eggs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Kosher salt
Cooking spray
Pure maple syrup, warm
Special equipment: eight 12-inch skewers

Steps:

  • Thread 6 bread cubes onto each skewer, leaving at least 1/4 inch of space between cubes. Leave the skewers out overnight, uncovered, to dry out.
  • The next day, prepare an outdoor grill for medium heat. Grill the bacon, flipping as needed to ensure even cooking, until most of the fat has rendered and the bacon is charred in spots on both sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to absorb any excess fat. (Note: If you have a charcoal grill, cook the bacon in a grill pan. It should not be grilled over charcoal because of the risk of flare-ups.)
  • Whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, butter, sugar, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until combined; pour into a rimmed baking sheet. Put the skewers of bread in the buttermilk mixture to soak, turning as needed, until the bread has absorbed some of the liquid but is not falling apart, no more than 5 minutes.
  • Spray a large piece of aluminum foil all over with cooking spray and place it on half the grill. Transfer the skewers to the foil in 1 layer, at least 1/2 inch of space between them. Grill, covered, turning the skewers a few times as needed, until the cubes of bread are golden in most places and no longer wet, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Remove the skewers and foil from the grill, and return the bacon to the grill just until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Serve the grilled French toast kebabs and bacon with warm maple syrup.

BLACKBERRY FRENCH TOAST

Categories     dessert

Time 9h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2-pound loaf crusty French bread, sliced (not sourdough)
10 large eggs
1/4 cup sugar plus 1 teaspoon, for sprinkling
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 pint heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1 (12-ounce) bag frozen blackberries, defrosted, or 3/4 pint fresh blackberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Spread the bread slices on a baking sheet and turn off the oven. Place the sheet in the oven and leave it overnight until the bread is dried.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and 1/4 cup sugar until all yolks are broken, and then add the milk and cream. Put the dried bread pieces on top of the egg mixture. Wait a few minutes, and then push the rest of the bread into the mixture and mix lightly. Place a small or medium casserole dish on a baking sheet that is lined with foil. Brush the dish with some of the melted butter.
  • Put half of the bread mixture in the dish to make a layer that covers the bottom. With a slotted spoon, arrange the berries evenly over the bread layer. Sprinkle the berries with sugar. Using your hands, pull out the remaining bread and create a second layer, arranging it evenly and patting down any crusts. With a spatula, stir the remaining egg mixture and pour over the top bread layer. Using a flat pastry brush, lightly brush the rest of the melted butter over the top. Bake the French toast until it rises up about 1-inch on the sides, about 1 hour. Let it cool for about 10 minutes, then cut into servings and serve immediately with sausage patties and fresh fruit.

HEALTHY GRILLED FRENCH TOAST FOIL PACKETS



Healthy Grilled French Toast Foil Packets image

We've made firing up your grill in the early AM worth it with this easy twist on a breakfast classic. A lightly buttered foil pack steps in for the traditional skillet and cuts way down on the fat for cooking. For campground cooks, we used canned non-fat evaporated milk (it's one less thing to keep cold). Go for the non-stick foil to prevent sticking and burning.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
One 12-ounce can nonfat evaporated milk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 slices multi-grain bread, lightly toasted
1 cup mixed berries

Steps:

  • Special equipment: nonstick foil
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
  • Tear eight 14-inch pieces of nonstick foil and lay them out nonstick-side up. Brush the centers of each piece with the melted butter.
  • Whisk together the evaporated milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon in a small baking dish or large resealable bag.
  • Dip each side of each piece of bread in the milk mixture until fully submerged. Arrange 2 pieces of bread next to each other, without overlapping, on 1 piece of buttered foil. Repeat with the remaining bread and 3 pieces of foil.
  • Make the foil packs: Put the remaining 4 pieces of foil, buttered-side down, directly on top of the bread so the foil touches the bread and the edges line up. Fold and crimp the edges tightly to make 4 oblong packets.
  • Put the packs on the grill, close the lid and cook for 5 minutes. Turn the packets over, close the lid and grill 5 minutes more. Remove and let rest for a few minutes. Carefully open the packets (hot steam will escape). Both sides of the French toast should be browned and the center should be custardy. Keep in the packets or transfer to plates. Top each serving with 1/4 cup of the berries and more maple syrup, if desired.

BLACKBERRY-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST



Blackberry-Stuffed French Toast image

Whenever you have a little extra time to simmer berries into a simple compote, do - then try stuffing it into hearty French toasts and dusting them with confectioners' sugar. They'll almost remind you of a jelly doughnut, even more so if you use brioche hamburger buns as your bread of choice. (But regular white sandwich bread, challah or any other enriched bread works, too.) You can adjust the sugar in the berries, depending on how sweet they are, and, if you prefer a smoother compote, press the cooked fruit through a mesh sieve once cooled to remove any seeds.

Categories     breakfast, breads, main course

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pint/285 grams fresh or frozen blackberries, raspberries or blueberries (about 2 heaping cups)
1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons/100 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Kosher salt
3 large eggs
1/4 cup/60 milliliters whole milk
1 to 2 tablespoons dark rum, bourbon or brandy
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 slices brioche or white sandwich bread (each about 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick)
Unsalted butter, for frying
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Place the berries, 1/3 cup/70 grams granulated sugar, the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Roughly crush the berries with the back of a fork to help release some of their juices.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a lid and cook at a strong simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the berries never stick to the bottom and burn, until the sauce has thickened and reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool and thicken for another 10 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk to combine the eggs, milk, rum, vanilla, a pinch of salt and the remaining 3 tablespoons/30 grams granulated sugar; set aside.
  • Lay 4 pieces of bread out on a plate or tray, and divide the cooled fruit across the bread (about 2 to 3 tablespoons each), leaving roughly 3/4-inch of space around the edges of the bread. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread, and press down lightly to adhere.
  • Heat a large frying pan or griddle over medium-high and melt enough butter to coat the bottom. Just as the butter begins to bubble, float a sandwich on top of the egg batter for 3 seconds, then flip to soak the other side for 3 more seconds. Hold the sandwich over the bowl for 10 seconds to allow any excess batter to drip off, then transfer it to the hot pan. Repeat with as many sandwiches as will fit in your pan; you may need to do this in batches. Cook until deep golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side, adding butter to the pan as needed. Transfer to plates and dust generously with confectioners' sugar.

Transfer slices as cooked to a large shallow baking pan (using a clean spatula) and, when all are browned, bake in middle of oven until hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve French toast with berry sauce.

OVEN-BAKED FRENCH TOAST WITH MIXED BERRY SAUCE



Oven-Baked French Toast With Mixed Berry Sauce image

As meals go, breakfast typically is the least expensive of the day. Eggs, bread and milk are relatively cheap and with the right recipe can become more than the usual omelettes and toast. Oven-baked French toast with mixed berry sauce is inexpensive to prepare and is impressive enough for company, yet simple enough to make for a Sunday brunch with family. The easy-to-make-sauce uses inexpensive frozen mixed berries, but the recipe is flexible. An equal amount of any frozen berries can be substituted. The sauce will keep, in an airtight container, for up to a week.
