List of Ingredients

French Toast with Poached Plums


1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup plums, any variety, pitted and sliced
1/2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs
\2 Tbs water or milk
4 1/2 inch thick slices of bread
3 Tbs butter confectioner's sugar




Recipe

1 In a saucepan, combine the sugar and the water over median heat and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Cook until a thin syrup forms, 4 to 5 minutes.

2 Add the plums and continue to cook, stirring often, until the plums soften, another 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla. Remove from the heat, cover to keep warm, and set aside.

3 In a shallow baking dish, combine the eggs and water or milk and beat them lightly.

4 Add the bread in a single layer, soaking the first side 1 to 2 minutes, then turning and soaking the other side.

5 In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it foams. Add the bread and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn with a spatula and cook the other side until golden, another 3 to 4 minutes.

6 Put one piece of the bread on each of 4 plates. Over each, spoon some of the warm plums and their sauce and sprinkle with a little confectioner's sugar. Serve immediately.
