Berry Good French Toast

The lazy days of summer have hit me, just when I need to punch it into gear and get the kids ready for the upcoming school year.  Here's a quick easy way to jazz up french toast and energize us all to get us going for back to school shopping.

 Good French Toast

Ingredients:
1.  5 slices of country potato bread
2.  Butter Pam
3.  2-3 eggs
4.  Mixed berries
5.  Powdered sugar
6.  1-2 sprigs of mint
7.  lemon juice (optional)
8.  maple syrup (optional)
9.  brown sugar (optional)

Directions:
1.  Scramble eggs in a flat pie pan or other pan that fits bread flat
2.  Heat pan
3.  Spray on Pam
4.  Dip bread into eggs
5.  Place in pan and heat until both sides are golden brown
6.  Add mixed berries and dust with powdered sugar with a sprig of mint to garnish
7.  (optional endings)  If your berries are not that sweet you can make a glaze with lemon juice and      powdered sugar or use maple syrup on top of berries.  Another good way to top this is to mix berries and brown sugar in a microwave safe bowl and heat on high in thirty seconds intervals mixing gently, about 1 1/2 minutes.

Anyway you top it, it's delicious!  My mint plant that I bought in the beginning of the summer is still alive.  So I add a sprig to the french toast and make berry infused water with berries and mint.  All summer long I've been putting fruit and mint into my lemonade and water.  A delicious touch to a delicious meal.  If you make bacon in the microwave you can save time and mess also.  Breakfast is ready in minutes.
