Got a sweet tooth? I sure do! When I wake up in the morning, I usually prefer sweets. I was looking on the Whole Foods website, and was inspired by a similar recipe. Here is my version:
Nectarine and Walnut French Toast
1 Egg
1 tablespoon of butter
a few pinches of cinnamon
a pinch of salt
1 slice of whole wheat bread
1 Nectarine (sliced)
Agave Nectar &/or 100% Natural Maple Syrup
A handful of raw walnuts (roughly chopped)
-In a flat-bottom dish add 1 egg, a pinch of cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and a teaspoon agave nectar. Whisk together.
-Cover your bread in the egg mixture, and place in a heated pan. (Cook on both sides, as you would cook french toast).
-In another pan, melt the butter on medium/low heat and add the nectarine slices. Add a tablespoon of maple syrup. (You can add more to your liking, but remember the nectarines are sweet). Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the nectarines begin looking soft and succulent.
-Add the walnuts after the heat is off, just to coat them in the sweet juices. We still want them raw.
-Pour mixture over your french toast and scarf the yummy goodness down!
*Did you know...? : "In the 16th and 17th centuries, herbs and foods used in medical practice were often prescribed due to their resemblance to a particular body part or organ. The resemblance between the walnut and heart made walnuts a popular treatment for this organ." In fact, walnuts can decrease the risk of cancer and heart disease.
