French Toast with Whole Wheat Hearth Bread
I used the leftover whole wheat hearth bread to make french toast for breakfast, along with a couple eggs. I cut the bread thick (1/2" - 3/4"), made the custard of 2 eggs, almond milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Served with maple syrup, it was ok. The bread wasn't sweet enough. When I made the second batch for the kids, I added maple syrup to the custard. They all said they liked it, and they ate it all.
I cooked it on the baking steel. It heated up fairly quickly. The over-easy eggs cooked pretty well on it. The scrambled was harder and cooked too fast. It works if you need it to, or just don't want to wash 2 things, but they are better cooked in a skillet.
Chocolate Mousse Cream Horns (Huck)
Huck saw this as a challenge on the British Baking Show, and has been dying to make Cream Horns ever since. Its basically puff pastry baked into a cone shape and filled with something. Huck rolled foil, wrapped the store-bought pastry around it and baked it.
Then melted chocolate and dipped the tops of the cones in it.
The mouse was:
4 oz dark chocolate
4 eggs, divided
Mix the yolks into the melted chocolate. Then, in a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Then fold the chocolate mixture in. Pipe it into the cones and let set for a few hours.
They were pretty good!
