Here's a festive Easter treat and no-fuss brunch addition—all rolled into one! Like the CT home economists did, you can easily shape these eggs from bread with a cookie cutter, prepare them the same as traditional French toast and paint the pieces will jellies. Plus, youngsters, can decorate their own helpings with their name or designs. Ingredients:
1 loaf (1 pound) french bread, cut into 3/4-inch slices |
4 eggs |
2/3 cup orange juice |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon grated orange peel |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup butter |
strawberry, mint and grape jellies |
Directions:
1. Cut each slice of bread with a 3-in. oval cookie cutter; discard crust. In a bowl, beat eggs, orange juice, sugar, orange peel and salt. Melt butter in a large skillet. Dip both sides of bread into egg mixture; cook in butter until golden brown on both sides. Meanwhile, heat jellies in microwave-safe bowls just until warm. Transfer each to a separate plastic or pastry bag; cut a small hole in the corner of bag. Decorate French toast to resemble Easter eggs. Yield: 6-8 servings.
