Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, please prepare all the ingredients for today’s dish. Looking at the fresh baby greens, bread, and eggs, aren’t you already excited to start cooking?
Step 2
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, removing the chalazae (the stringy bits). Add 20ml of milk and half a tablespoon of brown sugar. Whisk gently with a fork until the sugar dissolves to create the egg mixture. This is the moment when the base for your sweet and savory French toast is made.
Step 3
Dip each slice of bread into the prepared egg mixture. Ensure both sides are thoroughly coated so the egg mixture soaks in nicely. This step is key to achieving a French toast that’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Step 4
Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter is melted, place the egg-coated bread slices in the pan. Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook the other side until it’s also a beautiful golden brown. Your delicious French toast is ready!
Step 5
Let the freshly cooked French toast cool slightly. Once it’s no longer piping hot, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out mini heart French toast pieces. Making them into cute shapes like this will surely delight children!
Step 6
Now, let’s prepare the garnishes for the salad! Thinly slice the black olives. Peel the banana, then use a shaped mold to cut out cute banana flower shapes. For the ham ribbon, cut the sliced ham into rectangles, pinch the center to create a fold, and insert an olive or another small piece to form a charming ham ribbon.
Step 7
Take a large serving plate and arrange the fresh baby greens around the edge, forming a circular wreath shape. This will be the base of your salad. Artfully place the mini heart French toast pieces scattered around the greens.
Step 8
Place the prepared ham ribbon as a focal point in the center, at the top of the wreath. Add a slice of black olive and a banana flower decoration next to it. Continue arranging the garnishes to complete your unique and beautiful wreath salad.
Step 9
Finally, lightly dust the entire finished wreath salad with powdered sugar, like a gentle snowfall. Your stunning French toast wreath salad is complete! Enjoy this special dish with your loved ones on any celebratory occasion.
