APRIL FOOLS' DAY SUNNY SIDE UP SUNDAES



April Fools' Day Sunny Side up Sundaes image

This is a cute way to prank your family on April Fool's Day - it looks like a sunny side up egg on top of toast, but it is really an ice cream sundae. This calls for pre-packaged French toast slices - but you can also use your own homemade French toast or just use sweet cinnamon raisin bread, toasted. Just be sure to allow the toast to cool enough to not melt your ice cream (I got impatient when making these as you can see from melting ice cream in the photo). Also, although the original version calls for peach halves, I think apricot halves would be better, as they are closer to a yolk size.

Time 13m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 slices cinnamon flavor frozen French toast
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 (16 ounce) can canned peach halves (reserving syrup) or 1 (16 ounce) can apricot halves in light syrup (reserving syrup)
cinnamon sugar, to taste
maple syrup (optional)

Steps:

  • Toast french toast slices according to package directions (you may also use your own leftover slices of French toast).
  • Let cool, then set onto 4 serving plates.
  • Scoop out 4 ovals of ice cream using an ice cream spade or a large serving spoon (to achieve a flatter, more oval shape) and set them on top of each piece of toast.
  • Use the back of a spoon to press a hollow into the center of each scoop of ice cream.
  • Set a peach half into each hollow, rounded sides up -- to look like the yolks of fried eggs.
  • Pour the syrup (either the reserved syrup from the fruit or maple syrup) into a small pitcher and serve on the side as "syrup" and garnish each portion with cinnamon sugar. If you really want to be sneaky, put some cinnamon in a clean pepper shaker and sugar in the salt shaker.

  • Don't overmix your batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake or bread.
  • Bake your cakes and breads at the correct temperature. This will help to ensure that they rise properly and cook evenly.
  • Let your cakes and breads cool completely before frosting or icing them. This will help to prevent the frosting or icing from melting.
  • Be creative with your decorations. You can use fresh fruit, sprinkles, chocolate chips, or even edible flowers to decorate your desserts.
