Heart Shaped French Toast – a cute Valentine’s lunch idea for kids.

I love making cute holiday-themed lunches and treats for my daycare hooligans!  Here’s a really cute kids’ lunch idea for Valentine’s Day: Heart shaped French Toast with cinnamon sugar.  I’ve added a few cute heart-shaped sides to this lunch as well.


It’s always fun to serve food with a them on Valentines Day.  I usually aim for as much red or pink food a I can, and of course, anything heart shaped is great too!

Heart Shaped shaped French Toast is just perfect for Valentines day and such an easy way to add a bit of fun to lunch time (or breakfast or dinner for that matter!

Ingredients

  • 12-16 Slices Martin's Old-Fashioned Real Butter Bread
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 2/3 Cup Milk
  • 4-8 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 Pinch of Salt
  • 1 Pinch of Nutmeg (optional)

Directions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg until well combined.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with 1-2 tablespoons butter.
  3. Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter or a knife, cut a heart out of each piece of bread.
  4. Dip each piece of heart-shaped bread into the egg/milk mixture, being sure to coat both sides.
  5. Cook the bread (as many slices as will fit in the pan) for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden.
  6. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the pan as necessary.

For years, I used a box mix to make pancakes. It was easy — just add water (and maybe an egg, depending on the fanciness of the mix) and pour the batter on the griddle. Then the internet came along and showed me that I could make pancakes from scratch and at a fraction of the cost of a mix. And, surprise! The pancakes actually taste better. First, we must master the basic pancake. And while whipping up a batch takes no time at all, there are some rules to pancake creation to make sure your pancakes turn out fluffy and delicious every time: Ingredients 2 c. all purpose flour 1 T. baking powder 3 T. white sugar 1/2 t. salt 2 eggs 1-1/2 c. milk 2 t. vanilla 1 T. butter, vegetable oil or coconut oil Instructions: Preheat a griddle. If you’re using an electric griddle, preheat to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix well. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add eggs, milk and vanilla. Stir to combine. Remember,
