Faux French Toast

Print


As much as I hate to admit this.....we're moving out of Coyote Gulch.  Plenty of good memories, and a hefty handful of bad ones.  That's neither here nor there.....the move is happening come hell or high water.  So where does that leave me?  Not wanting to spend a heck of a lot of time in the kitchen.....when I do.....I'm taking the fill-you-up-with-energy-easy-route.  I spend part of my nights laying in bed wondering how in bloody hell we're going to downsize from 3300 sq. ft. to 952 sq. ft. (long story).....and how I can use up what I've got in my pantry and freezer.  So as I lay WIDE AWAKE last night.....I thought about what I had that was screaming to be eaten.....and this is what I came up with.  Mind you.....this is darn right tasty too!!!

Faux French Toast
adapted by Anne Fleetwood

You'll Need
  • 4 slices angel food cake
  • Fresh fruit (whatever rocks your taste buds)
  • Soft margarine or butter
  • Pancake syrup
  • Whipped cream

Slice 4 nice sized chunks of the angel food cake, making sure to cut them even thickness.


I had a nectarine, banana, and some strawberries on hand.  I rinsed the nectarine and strawberries, then sliced the nectarine into bite-sized pieces, and quartered the strawberries.  The banana I just sliced into manageable chunks.


Toast your angel food cake slices until they're a nice light golden brown.



Now it's time to assemble the whole shebang.

Place a slice or two of the toasted angel food cake on a plate.

Slather some margarine or butter on top of each slice of the toasted angel food cake.


Pile some nectarines on top.


Then add some of the strawberries.


Finally sprinkle some of the banana slices over all.

Drizzle the pancake syrup over the fruit.


Splooch some whipped cream on top.


INDULGE!!!

Serves 2-4

As for this recipe, I don't even care for fruit that much, but you sure make that fruit look delicious! But I still would love to take a bite out of your pork chop picture in your previous post (I saw it again as I was scrolling down -- YUM!!!) Keep us posted on how your move goes, and I think I can say for everyone in blogland that we wish you and the Big Boober the BEST!!!!!!!!!
