Classy and Convenient Cooking for Two
When you're looking to whip up a quick and easy meal for just two, eggs are your go-to ingredient. Naturally portioned and versatile, eggs are perfect for a range of meals. You can fry, scramble, poach, or bake them, or even enjoy them boiled. Transform eggs into delightful dishes like omelets, frittatas, quiches, or stratas.
A standout egg dish is French toast, known in Louisiana's Cajun country as "pain perdu," or "lost bread." Traditionally, it repurposes day-old bread by soaking it in an egg and milk mixture before cooking. Despite its humble origins, French toast can be dressed up for a gourmet experience. By splitting and stuffing the toast with cheese and sugaring strawberries, you create a classy dish that's good any time of day.
Following nutritional guidelines, French toast incorporates elements from the grain group and a meat alternative through eggs. Our Superb Stuffed French Toast adds calcium via cheese and vitamin C from strawberries. This recipe recommends whole wheat bread for added fiber but feel free to use your preferred bread. Swap out vanilla for almond, lemon, or orange flavoring to mix things up.
