French Toast Kebabs
Posted on | July 1, 2012 | 2 Comments
I don’t like sweet breakfast too much. So I actually prepared this breakfast dish for dinner. Eating breakfast food for dinner is also known as “brinner” here. I didn’t know that there was actually a word for this until just a few years ago…
French toast prepared as kebabs like this is a fun way of serving it. And now with lots of fresh fruit available, this is such a treat…
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup / 80 ml buttermilk
- pinch salt
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 loaf of sliced bread (I used whole grain bread)
- butter
- fresh fruit pieces like bananas, raspberries, strawberries etc
- maple syrup
Directions
Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, salt, and the vanilla extract.
Cut the bread slices into bite-sized pieces. Stir the bread into the egg mixture.
Heat a little bit of butter in a frying pan and cook the bread pieces in the pan until golden brown.
Thread the bread and fruit pieces onto skewers.
Serve with maple syrup. Guten Appetit!!!

Zubereitung
Die Eier leicht verquirlen und die Buttermilch, das Salz und das Vanille-extrakt unterrühren.

Ein wenig Butter in einer Pfanne erhitzen, und die Brotstücke darin goldbraun braten.
Das Brot und die Fruchtstücke auf Schaschlikspieβe stecken.

Arme Ritter Schaschlik? Haha. I’m so sorry but that is AMAZING. Poor knight… Schaschlik. Sometimes I love German. This is one of those times. It’s not like “French toast” makes sense but it’s just not nearly as cool sounding as the German name.
Anyway, this looks super yummy! And funny that you say you don’t like sweet breakfast. Whenever I have people over for breakfast, they want to eat bread and rolls and meat and don’t want my pancakes, muffins, brioche or anything. “Not for breakfast! Noooo.”

@ Erin: German is pretty awesome, I agree…
I’m glad you enjoy the name… 
Actually, there are quite a few Germans who do eat sweet breakfast, like jam, honey, or nutella on rolls or sweet pastries like Streuselschnecke. But yes, muffins would rather be an afternoon treat or pancakes for lunch… But you know, I would never refuse it if I were offered this. I’d eat sweet food or try something new. In Scotland, I tried haggis for breakfast…
