French Toast with Goat Cheese
….This classic French Toast is a recipe that I absolutely love to make, especially on a lazy weekend morning. There’s something special about this rich and delicious French Toast, made with goat cheese and apricot jam. After savoring it a few weeks ago at Juniper Bistro in Banff, I decided to prepare it for my husband’s breakfast, and I can have it on the table in minutes. French toast has a unique way of starting the morning off in the best way. Here’s a little tip: I love French toast made with heavy cream, but it’s also perfectly fine with whatever milk I have in the refrigerator. Usually, I use half heavy cream and half milk in the egg mixture. Additionally, I’ve experimented with various sweeteners and had great success with strawberry jam, maple syrup, and apricot jam. However, I didn’t add sugar to the egg mixture; I prefer it not overly sweet.
