INGREDIENTS

3 large eggs
½ cup milk
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
4 slices of  home sliced  bread (sliced 1-inch thick)
1 cup strawberries, washed and sliced
2 or 3 large mint leaves

METHOD

In a large bowl whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and soak the slices of bread in it, turning it once so both sides are evenly soaked. About 8 minutes (4 minutes per side).

Warm the butter in a large skillet and melt it completely. Cook the bread for about 3 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown.

Place the bread slices on a plate and layer in half of the sliced strawberries. Mash up the last strawberries and heat them in a small saucepan with the maple syrup. Drizzle the warm mixture over the French toast and dot with the mint leaves. Serve!
