CRUNCHY SOURDOUGH FRENCH TOAST
serves 4-5

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp. butter or ghee (add 1 tbsp. of fresh butter in your skillet each time you cook more bread) 
• 3 eggs, whisked
• 1/2 cup of granola (I use Purely Elizabeth's Ancient Grain Granola)
• 6-8 slices of sourdough bread
• cinnamon, sprinkle
• pure maple syrup (optional topping) 
• 1 banana, sliced (optional topping) 
• fresh berries (optional topping) 

1. Place 1 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over almost medium heat. Depending on your stove you want to toast the bread slowly, but not burn the granola to a crisp, so please adjust accordingly! 

2.  Place your whisked eggs in a bowl or shallow container large enough to fit a slice of bread.  

3.  Place your granola in a zip lock bag and crush into a thin crumble using your hands or a rolling pin.  Then place your crushed granola into a bowl or shallow container large enough to fit a slice of bread. 

4.  Dip your sourdough bread into the whisked eggs making sure to cover the entire slice of bread. Next, dip your bread into the crushed granola mixture, making sure to cover as much of the bread as you can. 

5.  Place the coated bread onto your heated skillet and cook until bread and granola are lightly toasted.  Then flip the bread and do the same on the other side.  Remember to cook slowly so you don't burn your delicious crunchy granola! 

6.  Serve your tasty french toast with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a heavy drizzle of maple syrup and feel free to add your favorite fruit toppings.
