Figs Breakfast Toast



Breakfast toast is something so dear to me. One of my childhood favorite breakfast that i always look up to. Memory of my mother cracking eggs and whisking milk into the sweet custard base still lingering in my mind. This fancy western breakfast served on the breakfast table made our sundays on those good old days.

I'm dishing up my version of breakfast french toast with sweet  mission figs, which compliments the toast really well. Figs is not a regular sightings in our local markets. When i caught a glimpse of dark, purplish  beauty i know for an instance i have to get it...so i did





Ingredients

For the syrup

1 cup maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla essence


For the custard

10 slices french bread (cut into 3/4 inch thick)
10 fresh figs
3 eggs
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup milk
3 tbsp butter
pinch of salt


Methods

In a bowl whisk together the milk,eggs,salt,vanilla essence and sugar. Pour batter into a baking dish

Soak the bread slices into the batter and let the custard coat both sides of the bread.

Melt butter in a sauce pan and place the soaked bread. Cook till golden brown for 2 mins at each side. Drain excess butter and transfer into a platter

In same sauce pan, combine maple syrup,figs and vanilla essence. Simmer in a medium flame till the figs caramelized.

Place the cooked figs on the toast and drizzle with the warm maple syrup.

Serve with your morning cup of coffee


Notes


  • You can subtitute maple syrup with honey. Just simmer honey with figs and vanilla essence and drizzle it over on the warm toast
