Angel French Toast with Strawberry Syrup

Angel French Toast with Strawberry Syrup: Savory Sweet and Satisfying

This breakfast is meant for a special occasion, like a birthday breakfast for someone who loves angel food cake and strawberries. It may not be the healthiest breakfast, but it sure is delicious and a great way to celebrate a special day.

Angel French Toast with Strawberry Syrup

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups diced strawberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 angel food cake
  • 4 eggs, whisked
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • reduced fat cream cheese, softened

Directions:

  1. In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce heat to low.
  3. Simmer until the strawberries are softened, the syrup has thickened and the volume has reduced by 1/3 to 1/2, stirring occasionally. This will take about 15 minutes. The syrup will thicken more upon standing, if it becomes too thick whisk in a bit more water to reach desired consistency.
  4. Preheat a griddle and spray with cooking spray.
  5. While the strawberry syrup is simmering, slice the angel food cake into 12-14 pieces.
  6. In a shallow bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  7. Place the angel food cake pieces into the egg mixture letting it stand for a few seconds on each side.
  8. Place cake pieces on griddle and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  9. Spread each piece of angel food cake with desired amount of cream cheese and top with strawberry syrup.
Enjoy!!!
