Gold Coast French Toast
As soon as I saw this simple and enticing recipe for French toast, posted by Heidi of 101 Cookbooks, I immediately knew that I had to try it. The recipe comes from one of her vintage cookbooks, The Spice Islands Cookbook.
What I like about this recipe is that I had all the ingredients (including the heart-shaped cookie cutter!) in my kitchen already. Also, it didn’t take a long time to assemble the ingredients or make the French toast. I’ve seen other recipes, which are more involved.
Heidi used Hawaiian sweet bread, but since I didn’t know what type of bread that is, I used challah bread.
The best part of my Gold Coast French Toast is that it tasted so good! I love it – I made my own food of love! ;-)

That looks great! I saw Heidi's recipe too and have bookmarked it to try :-) Nice to see you had such a lovely experience with it!
paz, what kind of bread can I use to do this recipe? I also saw it in Heidi's blog, but I got a little messed with the Hawaian sweet bread. Should it be a special kind of bread? thanks in advance. besos!
Joey, it tasted very good. I hope you're able to try it soon.
Tattum, I used Challah bread. Heidi recommends that you use "Challah bread or any eggy or sweet bread." The only bread that I know about is Challah, so that is what I used. It worked out perfectly for me. I hope that you can find it or something similar.
By the way, I forgot to tell you that my very good friend lives in Spain, too! ;-))))
Let me know if you find the bread or something similar.
Besos,
Paz
I had a look on the web, Challah bread is jewish...and here it's a little difficult to find hoscher products...anyway I'll try to find it somewhere. those toast look sooo good, it's hard to look at this when you 're just about to have a sad coffee only breakfast at work...snif, snif...
you really have a friend here in Spain? have you been here, in Spain? if not you must come to visit!!! you would love it!!
besos :))
Tattum,
Only coffee for breakfast. I'm sniffing with you... sniff, sniff, sniff. ;-(
I'm sure there is a similar bread. I have e-mailed my friend in Spain to ask if she knows the names. I will let you know when I hear from her.
I've been to Spain many years ago. I would like to visit again.
Besos,
Paz
