Sweetbread French Toast with Marinated Strawberries

Sweet Bread French Toast
Ingredients:
• 6 large eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/8 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• 6 each 3/4 inch slices of Portuguese sweet bread or brioche or cinnamon raisin bread

Directions:
1. Combine the eggs, cream, sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in a large bowl, then place in a 9x13 pan or baking dish.
2. In a preheated skillet or fry pan, swirl in some butter.
3. Working a few pieces at a time, take the bread slices and lightly press into the custard mix then flip, allowing the custard to be soaked in, but not completely soggy. Then place in the skillet and cook, flipping when the bottom side is golden, approximately 4 minutes total.
4. Reserve in a warm oven.
5. Serve the French toast lightly dusted with powdered sugar and the berries on the side.

Marinated Strawberries
Ingredients:
• 1/2 pound strawberries, de-stemmed and quartered
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 ounce gran marnier or chambord

Directions:
1. Combine the ingredients and reserve.

Lilikoi Mimosas
Ingredients (per one drink):
• 3 ounces passion orange juice
• 3 ounces prosecco or other dry sparkling wine
• 2 raspberries for garnish

Directions:
1. In a champagne flute, pour in the passion orange juice.
2. Top with the prosecco and float with the raspberries.

Omelet Basics
Ingredients (for one omelet):
• 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs, cracked into a small bowl and beaten
• Salt and pepper
• Fillings of choice, approximately 3 tablespoons worth (tomato, mushrooms, cheese, bacon, etc.)

Directions:
1. Preheat a 6 inch non-stick pan to medium high, place the vegetable oil in the pan and swirl.
2. Add in the eggs and using a wooden or silicone spatula, swirl the eggs to allow them to cook.
3. When the eggs are starting to set, stop swirling them, season with salt and pepper, then lay the fillings across the center of the eggs perpendicular to the pan handle.
4. Gently fold the top third of the egg over the fillings (from the pan handle side) and then roll the egg out onto a plate. Garnish with herbs, salsa or cheese.
