Brunch skewers

 

                French toast is also called "pain perdu" since the preparation was originally intended to recover the stale bread... rather than to lose it.

4 skewers

• 15 ml butter
• 24 country bread cubes 3 cm (1½ in.)
• 24 fresh raspberries
• 24 large fresh blueberries (blueberries)

For the French toast dough

• 80 ml milk
• 30 ml brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 ml vanilla
• 1 ml cinnamon

1. In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the French toast dough.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter; dip the bread cubes in the French toast dough and stir to coat them well.
3. Slightly drain bread cubes to remove excess liquid and place in skillet; Sear the cubes for 1 to 2 minutes on each side to brown all sides.
4. Assemble the skewers by alternating the cubes of French toast, the raspberries and the blueberries; warm the skewers for a few minutes in the oven before serving them generously drizzled with maple syrup.
