Staying true to form, I'm submitting my post for EoMEoTE a bit early...
So far, I've made appetizers and sandwiches; time for something different.
I give you Sweet Eggs on Chocolate Toast!
Eggs, sweetened with sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. Cooked in a crepe pan, and cut into shapes.
Chocolate bread, with chocolate chips, toasted and cut into pieces, topped with a dollop of whipping cream. Eggs placed on top, and dusted with cocoa powder and powdered sugar.
This is what Matt had to say about them:
Both the spiced eggs and the chocolate bread are strongly flavored and
neither is more than mildly sweet, with a strong cinnamon tone in the eggs
and a relatively dark chocolate in the bread. The flavors go together
quite well, and they're nicely balanced by the richness of the whipped
cream. The cream also adds a necessary balancing moistness to the firm
eggs and dense bread.
And in part because Niki brought it up, and also because I had a ton of chocolate bread to run through; Chocolate French Toast!
