French Toast Kebabs with Strawberries Recipe

Introduction

French Toast Kebabs are a fun and delicious twist on the classic breakfast favorite. Combining soft, golden French toast cubes with fresh strawberries, these skewers make a perfect treat for brunch or a special morning snack.

Ingredients

• 8 slices Hawaiian bread (such as Franz)
• 4 large eggs
• ¼ cup milk (whole or 2%)
• 2 tsp sugar
• 48 strawberries (smaller size if possible)
• Cinnamon (optional)
• 4 tbsp butter
• Optional toppings: powdered sugar and maple syrup

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and cinnamon if using.
2. Step 2: Heat ½ to 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat on a griddle or non-stick pan. One slice at a time, dip the bread in the egg mixture, coating both sides.
3. Step 3: Cook the bread slice until golden, then flip and cook the other side. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.
4. Step 4: Once cooled, cut each French toast slice lengthwise in half, stack, then cut again down the middle to create cubes.
5. Step 5: Remove the green tops from the strawberries or create heart shapes by making a small V-cut at the top.
6. Step 6: Assemble the kebabs by threading one strawberry, four French toast cubes, another strawberry, four more cubes, and a final strawberry onto each skewer. Each skewer should have three strawberries and eight cubes of French toast.
7. Step 7: Garnish with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup if desired.

Tips & Variations

• Use day-old or slightly toasted bread for better texture and less sogginess.
• Add a pinch of vanilla extract or nutmeg to the egg mixture for extra flavor.
• Swap strawberries with other berries like blueberries or raspberries for variety.
• Serve with a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for a decadent touch.

Storage

Store leftover French toast cubes and strawberries separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat French toast gently in a toaster oven or microwave before assembling kebabs. Fresh strawberries are best added just before serving to keep them firm.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of bread for French toast kebabs?

Yes, any thick-cut bread like brioche, challah, or Texas toast works well. Hawaiian bread is sweet and soft, but feel free to use your favorite.

How do I keep the French toast from getting soggy?

Allow the French toast to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting and assembling. Using slightly stale bread can also help prevent sogginess.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

French Toast

• 8 slices Hawaiian bread (such as Franz)
• 4 large eggs
• ¼ cup milk (whole or 2%)
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 4 tbsp butter

Fruit

• 48 small strawberries (green tops removed or cut into heart shapes)

Toppings (Optional)

• Powdered sugar
• Maple syrup

Instructions

1. Prepare the egg mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
2. Cook the French toast: Heat ½ to 1 tablespoon of butter on a griddle or non-stick pan over medium-low heat. One slice at a time, dip the bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Place on the hot pan and cook until golden, then flip and cook until the other side is also golden. Transfer cooked slices to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with all slices, adding more butter as necessary.
3. Cut the French toast: Once cooled, cut each slice lengthwise in half, stack the halves, then cut them once more down the middle to create smaller cubes.
4. Prepare the strawberries: Remove the green tops from the strawberries or create heart shapes by slicing a small V at the top of each berry.
5. Assemble the kebabs: Thread the skewers by placing one strawberry, followed by four cubes of French toast, another strawberry, four more cubes of French toast, and a final strawberry, so that each skewer contains 3 strawberries and 8 cubes of French toast.
6. Garnish and serve: Optionally dust the assembled kebabs with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup on the side for dipping.

Notes

• Use sturdy bread like Hawaiian or brioche for best texture and sweetness.
• Cook French toast on medium-low heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
• Allow the French toast to cool completely before cutting to maintain shape.
• Customize kebabs with other fresh fruits like blueberries or banana slices.
• For a spiced flavor, add nutmeg or vanilla extract to the egg mixture.
• Maple syrup or honey pairs well as a dipping sauce for these kebabs.
