Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4 serving(s)
Ingredients: 500 ml (2 cups) fresh or frozen and thawed strawberries; 60 ml (¼ cup) sugar; 125 ml (½ cup) milk; 60 ml (¼ cup) brown sugar; 2 eggs; 2.5 ml (½ tsp) vanilla extract; 4 slices white bread; 30 ml (2 tbsp) unsalted butter; Icing sugar

Preparation

Strawberry Sauce

In a food processor, purée the strawberries with the sugar until smooth. You can strain the mixture through a sieve to remove the seeds. Keep the sauce in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

French Toast

In a large bowl, combine the milk, sugar, eggs and vanilla with a whisk.
Dip the bread slices, one at a time, in the egg mixture, letting them soak well. You can place the slices on a plate until ready to cook.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Melt half the butter. Place two slices of bread at a time into the skillet. Brown for about 2 minutes per side, turning with a spatula. Keep the French toast warm in a 95 °C (200 °F) preheated oven on a baking sheet.
Place the French toasts on a cutting board. With a small heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out a hole in each slice. Dust with icing sugar.
Spread the strawberry sauce at the bottom of four plates and top with the French toasts.
