FRENCH TOAST WITH BROWN BUTTER SYRUP

FRENCH TOAST WITH BROWN BUTTER SYRUP

This tastes very similar to French toast and the delicious brown butter syrup just makes it even better. You will feel like you are cheating!! Low-carbing can be a very luxurious diet! I must admit I'm not an eggs and bacon in the morning sort of person. I like my cup of tea or weak, milk coffee with something like what I've pictured above, but for me, only two pieces of bacon. More than likely that would not be breakfast, though, but my main meal of the day. I don't eat a lot...at least I don't think so. Breakfast (I get up late - around 9 or 9:30 am, but get to bed most nights close to midnight - I want to change all of that sometime soon...I like the early mornings typically, and I work best early in the morning) is usually leftover baking and my tea or simply my tea more often than not. Then I'll eat around midday or so. I'll have a big meal and a medium-sized to small supper, or if I have had a breakfast that day, sometimes I skip supper. So basically, I'm not what you would call a big eater most the time...weird considering my career revolves around food all the time! I think that would not be the case if I lived off white flour and sugar products, however. Low-carbing is an especially good way to satisfy the appetite.

You can serve this French Toast with low-carb maple syrup and a sprinkle of nutmeg, if desired. If you are making one-minute muffins, you could make a whole batch of them the night before. There is no egg mixture with this recipe, although you could certainly dip the "bread" in an egg mixture with cream if you would prefer that. You could add a titch of vanilla extract to the Brown Butter Syrup.

INGREDIENTS:

Hamburger Buns, OR (each sliced into 3 rounds)

Your favorite 1-minute low-carb muffin

Optional Egg mixture:

2 large eggs

1/4 cup cream

Brown Butter Syrup:

¹/₂cup butter (125 mL)

Allulose to equal ¹/₂cup sugar (125 mL)

¹/₂cup whipping cream (125 mL)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Prepare Hamburger Buns. Slice a hamburger bun into three slices. In nonstick, dry pan, toast pieces until golden brown on both sides. Serve immediately with Brown Butter Syrup. OR optionally, in small bowl, whisk eggs and cream and dip the "bread" slices in this custardy mixture before frying in melted butter. The first option is less calorific.

Brown Butter Syrup: In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Keep cooking the butter until it turns golden brown. Stir in the sweetener and whipping cream. Whisk with a whisk until the mixture boils. Remove from the heat. Store in a Mason jar in the refrigerator. Serve the syrup slightly warm.
