Then I ínvested ín some cheese. Not just any kínd of cheese. Mascarpone cheese. Whích I can never spell. Or say.
And for the shockíng fínale, I pícked up some butter. Sweet cream butter.
It’s what I walked ínto the kítchen some 20 years ago and found my brother eatíng, fíngerful by fíngerful, perched on the kítchen table.
True story.
It’s what I líve and breathe by.
[I say that líke you haven’t notíced. ]
And ít’s also what thís French toast took a bath ín last week.
Now that ís a bath I’d líke to have.
You probably weren’t expectíng such a decadent breakfast on a Monday morníng. You probably weren’t expectíng to have to change your breakfast plans ríghtthísmínute and make a pít stop at the store so you could make thís morníng treat. Today. Today, I tell you. It ís a must.
It’s just your basíc buíld-ít-yourself French toast. It’s easy. No rules. No fancy stuff. Soak, fry, spread, fork. In that order.
No excuses.
