30-60 minutes
ingredients
6 slices egg bread or Challah bread
1/4 cup melted butter
3 cups strawberries, sliced and tossed with a little sugar
2 cups whipped cream
1/2 cup glazed pecans (readily available at most grocery stores and gourmet markets)
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
maple syrup, heated
French Toast Batter
4 eggs
1 cup half and half (or milk)
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
directions
Dip the egg bread in French Toast Batter. Gently squeeze the bread slices in several different spots (especially near the edge/crust) to help absorb the batter. Allow the batter to absorb into the bread while it rests for 10 minutes.
Drizzle melted butter onto a pancake grill or large saute pan. Place the soaked egg bread onto the oiled grill and cook until golden brown on both top and bottom (approximately 4 minutes per side).
When the French toast is done, place one slice on the plate. Using a large spoon, sprinkle a some of the sliced strawberries over the top of the French toast, making sure to spread it close to the edge, all the way around.
Place the second piece of French toast on top of the first and sprinkle more sliced strawberries over the bread, again, making sure to spread it close to the edge, all the way around.
Place the last piece of French toast on top of the others. Sprinkle a little more sliced strawberries on top of the bread, but this time with a little more in the center and allowing some of the strawberries to fall randomly onto the plate around the French toast. You can also drizzle a little juice around the edge of the French toast. Repeat this procedure with the second plate.
Garnish the French toast with some whipped cream and the glazed pecans. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top and all around the plate. Serve warm maple syrup on the side. Bon appetit.
For French Toast Batter: Put all ingredients into a blender and blend together for a few seconds or until smooth.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
