Mixed Berry French Toast
Serves: 2
Equipment
- Bonfire 2.0
- Cast Iron Griddle Top + Hub
- Cast Iron Skillet
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick-cut bread
- 4 eggs
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 cup blackberries
- ½ cup blueberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons butter
Directions
Step 1: Build Your Fire
Build a fire in your Solo Stove fire pit. Burn 4-6 logs and allow them to reduce to hot coals. Set up the cooking hub with the griddle on top.
Step 2: Prep the Egg Mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and cinnamon. Set aside until ready to cook.
Step 3: Cook the Berries
Place a cast iron skillet on top of the griddle. Add in the berries, water, and sugar. Stirring occasionally, allow the berry mixture to simmer for 8-10 minutes until it reduces.
Step 4: Cook the French Toast
While the berries are cooking, dunk each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Melt butter on the hot griddle. Place the bread down on the griddle. Cook the toast on each side, about two minutes, until golden. Repeat with additional butter and remaining slices of bread.
Step 5: Stack the French Toast
Place one piece of French toast on a plate. Spread mascarpone cheese on top, and add a spoonful of the reduced berries. Place another piece of French toast on top, additional mascarpone cheese, and top with berries. Finish with sprinkled crushed walnuts and additional fresh fruit.
