As I am sure many of my friends are aware I am highly passionate about food, and as I have recently discovered, many of them are sick to death of me posting shots of my food to facebook. Hence the start of swallowing Melbourne.
I was hoping to start the blog with a post of an amazing meal I created last week, but the photo that I took of it somehow went missing, so that will have to wait until I remake it. Instead I'll show you all one of my all time favourite desserts... Wait for it.... Chocolate Souffle....
Okay... so i don't have pictures of that either, so you'll have to settle for Brulee French Toast with a Vodka Raspberry Syrup.
So this was something i whpped up a couple of weeks ago when I was home alone on a Monday and a little peckish.
Ingredients
The Toast
Some good quality White Bread
2 Eggs
1/3 cup Milk
Vanilla Paste or pods or essence
Butter
Sugar
The Syrup
1/4 cup Vodka
Handful frozen Raspberries
Star Anise Pod
1/2 Cup Sugar
Cut yourself a couple of slices of bread and let them sit whilst you make the egg mixture, they will dry slightly and take on the moisture more fully. Grab a big bowl and crack your eggs along with your milk and vanilla and whisk until it's combined. Dunk your bread in this and leave covered while you make the syrup.
Get a small saucepan and bring the vodka, star anise and the raspberries to a slow boil. Add the sugar and reduce until syrupy.
While thats bubbling away it's time to do your toast. First, melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat whack in your egg soaked bread and fry until nice and golden. Flip it over and do the other side then take it out to rest. There should be a little butter left in the pan, if not add a little more along with a bit of sugar. Heat up the butter/sugar mixture until its all gooey and chuck your toast back in to coat it in yumminess.
Pile your bruleed toast on a plate and pour over some of that syrupy goodness.
Seriously Satisfying.
Hope you like it, will do something more wanky soon.
