French Toast with Peaches and Raspberries

Peaches and raspberries are the perfect addition of light sweetness to buttery French toast that’s great with a side of crispy bacon or sizzling sausage. A lovely breakfast-in-bed choice to serve Mom on Mother’s Day.

Why try? Who needs syrup when you can top your French toast with fresh fruit glazed in raspberry?

Foodie Byte: Instead of the typical milk and eggs mixture to coat your French toast, why not try a richer, more flavorful combination of vanilla-scented cream and eggs? It will not only improve the flavor, but your French toast will be lighter in texture and have a crunchy amber crust.

Ingredients
• 1/2 loaf Italian bread, cut into 1 inch thick slices
• 1/2 stick butter
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

• 2 tablespoons raspberry preserves

Preparation
1. In a large shallow bowl, combine eggs, cream, nutmeg, vanilla, sugar, and salt, and whisk to blend.
2. In another bowl, combine peaches, raspberries, and raspberry preserves, tossing distribute preserves evenly.
