Strawberry Rhubarb French Toast Recipes

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Make the compote: Combine the strawberries, rhubarb, 1/3 cup sugar, the vanilla and cloves in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until broken down and thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. (You can make the compote up to 2 days ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
• Cut a 3-inch-wide slit into one side of each bread slice, cutting about three-quarters of the way through to make a pocket. Fill with the compote, reserving about 1/4 cup for topping.
• Whisk the eggs, milk and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a large baking dish. Add the stuffed bread and soak, about 5 minutes per side.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the stuffed bread and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side, adjusting the heat if necessary. Top with the reserved compote and yogurt.

BAKED FRENCH TOAST WITH STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB SAUCE

Steps:

• Generously grease 15x10x1-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray. In medium bowl, beat flour, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs with wire whisk until smooth.
• Arrange bread slices to fit in single layer in pan. Pour egg mixture over bread slices; turn to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
• Heat oven to 450°F. Uncover; bake 10 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat strawberries, rhubarb and water to boiling. Boil 5 minutes, stirring occasionally; remove from heat. Stir in gelatin until dissolved. Boil 2 minutes longer, stirring constantly. Serve warm sauce with French toast.
