FRENCH TOAST GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, dijon, onion powder, sugar, and pepper until completely combined and cohesive.
• Place one piece of the Swiss cheese on top of a slice of the bread, top with a few slices of ham, and then another slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the second slice of bread. Then repeat with the remaining bread until you have four sandwiches.
• Heat a large griddle or skillet on medium-high heat.
• Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture so that both sides are coated.
• Turn the griddle down to low and add the butter. Coat the griddle with the butter. Place the sandwiches on the griddle and cover each one with a small lid.
• Once that side is browned and the cheese is slightly melted, flip the sandwich and cover with the lid again.
• Once the other side is brown and the cheese is completely melted remove it from the griddle, cut in half, and serve with the raspberry jam or honey mustard.
• Serve with homemade fries or a fresh green salad to make a complete meal. Enjoy!

INJERA

Steps:

• Combine flour and baking soda in a large bowl.
• Add club soda, stir well to form a thin batter.
• Heat a large well-seasoned or non-stick griddle until hot. Brush lightly with oil or ghee.
• Using a large cup or ladle, begin on the outside of the griddle and pour in a circle around the inside edges until the center is filled. Quickly tilt the griddle back and forth to fill in any holes and spread evenly. As if making crepes.Cook for 1-2 minutes, until surface is spongy and filled with tiny air bubbles. Do not flip the bread - just slide off griddle onto a large plate. Continue cooking injera until batter is used, transferring them to the plate as they are done. Arrange them around the outside edges of the plate so that the centers overlap. Serve immediately with a meat or vegetable stew.

CLASSIC FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200 degrees, and place a wire rack on a sheet pan inside.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, additional yolks, milk, vanilla (if using) and salt until foamy and smooth. Set aside. Place a small lump of butter (enough to coat the bottom of the skillet when melted) in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over low heat. It will melt very slowly.
• When butter is just melted and bubbling, raise heat and bring to a sizzle. Place 2 slices of bread in the bowl with the egg mixture. Turn them a few times in the mixture until evenly saturated, about 5 seconds on each side. Do not soak.
• Lift a slice out of the egg mixture, gently shake off any excess, and place in the pan. Repeat until the skillet is full, and let the slices cook at a sizzle for about 2 minutes, until just turning golden brown on the bottom.
• Add another small lump of butter to the pan and flip the slices over, swirling the pan so that the fresh butter coats the bottom. (This will allow the second side to brown.)
• Continue cooking over low heat until the second side is golden brown. Dust with cinnamon sugar, flip again, and dust the other side. Test for doneness by pressing the center: The dent should slowly spring back. If it remains, the interior is not yet cooked. Continue cooking at low heat, flipping occasionally, until done. Serve immediately, or transfer to the oven to keep warm while cooking remaining bread. Serve as soon as possible. Top with maple syrup, berries, jam, sliced bananas, orange supremes - whatever you'd like.
