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!

  • 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.

  6. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the pan as necessary.
