Cinnamon Pear French Toast
It was a chilly December day in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Snowflakes were falling, and my stomach was growling. It was the morning after a gymnastics competition, and my family was speed walking through the cold to a local breakfast restaurant.
Once we settled inside, pulled off our gloves, and glanced at the menu, something caught my eye: “cinnamon waffle with pears foster.” Back then, I wasn’t really sure what pears foster meant, but it sounded nice so I ordered it anyway.
Even though that day was years ago, I still remember that breakfast. It was so crazy good with warm cinnamon spiced pear juice seeping all over. Absolutely no syrup necessary – just the sweet slices of fruit smothering the fluffy, golden waffle.
Clearly, it inspired me to replicate the flavor combination. Since then, cinnamon-pear French toast has become one of my special breakfast favorites! Yum, yum, yum.
Ingredients Directions Lightly beat eggs, vanilla, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Dip in slices of bread, covering both sides. Transfer bread and fruit slices onto a skillet lightly coated with coconut oil or butter. Cook both sides, sprinkling cinnamon on everything before and after flipping. Once French toast is golden and apples are tender, remove from the heat. Cut French toast into small squares (or use a spatula to slice it while still on the skillet). Serve French toast, pear, and apples together. Serve with berries. Lightly beat eggs, vanilla, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Dip in slices of bread, covering both sides.
