Wow! What a week!!! it has been in the teens and 20′s all week and I am done with this deep freeze! I decided today that I need a good, hot and hardy breakfast to kick start my day. My power has been out off and on all week and I have not had access to my buddy – my computer! This breakfast is a well earned treat.
I woke up starving for a BIG HOT GLUTEN FREE BREAKFAST!
So I decided to make GLUTEN FREE FRENCH TOAST WITH DRIED CHERRIES, ALMONDS, COCONUT AND HONEY WITH JONES’ SAUSAGE … what a mouthful!
This is how I put it all together … for a single serving
Earth Balance Non-Dairy Non-Soy butter
1 egg
cinnamon
Nielsen-Massey vanilla
Soy Delicious Coconut Milk – Unsweetened
1 thick slice of homemade Gluten Free bread
2 Jones’ Sausage patties (yum!)
dried cherries
chopped almonds
coconut flakes
honey or agave
Mix an egg in a bowl with
about a tablespoon of Coconut Milk, cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Dunk the slice of Gluten Free bread into the mixture and turn over to allow it to absorb. Put some butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the soaked slice of bread into the pan and cook on both sides for 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat. Put 2 frozen sausage patties in a microwave safe bowl with a paper towel on top and cook for 1.5 minutes.
Put the Gluten Free French Toast on the plate with the sausage and top with dried cherries, chopped almonds, coconut flakes. You can use any dried fruit – cranberries, strawberries, blueberries, apricots. You can also add any of your favorite nuts and seeds – pistachios, walnuts, pecans, cashews, pumpkin seeds. I like to add either golden honey or agave to make everything glisten and just slightly sweet. Total prep time is 10 minutes. Try to get a bite with everything on it…don’t forget the sausage!
Enjoy!
