Mixed Berry French Toast
I had been camping a few times in college and while I had fun, it’s not something that I regularly do. When I received an invite from al fresco to go “glamping” I was more than intrigued. I’ll be sharing more about the glamp grounds in a future post.
The invite included an Iron Chef competition! I was super pumped and had an amazing experience. We had a beautiful pantry filled with lovely ingredients and we were asked to create a breakfast. My partner, Becky, and I decided to go with French Toast.

Because we were camping we stuck with the theme and had grills to cook on. I started by melting butter in a cast iron pan on the grill. I let it melt and bubble, but not brown.
I whisked eggs and milk together and dipped french bread in the mixture, completely covering it. Once the excess dripped of the bread we put it into the frying pan to brown on each side.

In a cast iron pot over the grill we mixed strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and sugar until they begin to liquify. We really finished the dish with al fresco’s Apple Maple Chicken Sausage that we cooked on the grill.

After we were done cooking we went on to our plating and presenting to the judges. Hope you enjoy it as much as our judges did!

I would stick with strawberry or raspberry. I’m not a big fan of blueberry.But, AI get the idea. Very easy to make and tasty.
This sounds great. French toast is our favorite and then adding the berry all I can say is yummm
