If one can live in the world and yet not mix with it – just as the oil and water do not mix in the oil-lamp – then he can live in God. He is in this world but not of this world.

Christ is Risen!! Truly He is Risen!!

Each year we bake enough Tsoureki (Greek Easter Bread) for our feast and friends. We also always try to have enough leftover to enjoy in the coming weeks. In my next few posts I will share some of the ways we love to enjoy it! If you have never made Greek Easter Bread you can find the recipe here and a video tutorial here.

Over the years I have found many fun ways to eat our leftover loaves. This week and next I will share them with you! Today we had Tsoureki French Toast for breakfast! It’s super versatile and that citrus flavor stands up to cooking, nicely. I hope you Enjoy!!

Tsoureki French Toast

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs whisked
• 2 tablespoons milk
• butter to melt in the pan
• 6 slices Tsoureki (cut in half depending on the size of your loaf and your pans)
• Optional Toppings : Lemond Curd, Whipped Creme, Powdered Sugar, Maple Syrup

Preparation

• Whisk eggs together with milk in flat bottomed bowl or baking dish
• place slices of Tsoureki in egg mixture two minutes on each side so the egg mixture absorbs
• Heat frying pan on medium heat and melt 1 teaspoon butter in pan – swirl to coat the bottom of your pan
• Place as many slices as will fit in pan and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown
• Top with optional toppings as it suits you!
