It's called Northern Michigan Wildberry Toast.
It's French toast filled with a wild berry cream cheese.
I am all about presentation and I think this one is pretty good. Because the rim is so busy, this plate needed no garnish. It was a wise chef who curtailed the ubiquitous urge to toss parsley and an orange section on this plate. (Don't even let me get started on the overuse of parsley as a garnish--I will say just one thing -- parsley does not belong on a plate if it's not used in the dish, and please don't ever use parsley to garnish a dessert!) O.K. that was two things. Sorry...
I do have one little suggestion that would put this presentation over the top--gently set two blueberries and a blackberry into the filling that is oozing out of the toast. I guess it would be pretty expensive to get fresh wild berries at this time of the year in Michigan.
I could only eat two pieces. I like it without the butter or the syrup. I also left all the bacon. So, I guess I wasted more than 50% of it! Long ago I got over the need to finish everything that was served to me. I eat just as much as I want to and then stop. I hate to feel stuffed.I have made a lot of progress on my table runner. It's made from 3-inch blocks and it will take about 64 blocks to complete. Here it is half finished.
Do you think it's a pretty good complement to the dishes?
I am quite satisfied with it and intend to do a table runner to match all the different dinner plates I have. I think I have upwards of 25 different patterns, so that should keep me busy for some time!
I think I will spend the next hour working on the hand quilting of the big 'Roses are Red, Borders are Blue' quilt. It's been over a week since I've worked on it. It will never get done if I continue at that pace!

Love the table runner. It matches your dishes perfectly. You are so creative! I read your blog to try to get myself inspired! I am in northern Ohio and the winters just make me so unmotivated!

Janet, Welcome and thank you.
ReplyDeleteI would be quite pleased if I actually inspired you to do a project. :) I think I don't mind the long winters so much because I always have tons of projects to keep myself entertained.
I do like that table runner with the dishes..now all you need is something in solid yellow and solid brown(if that is the right color I am seeing.
ReplyDeleteYou know Zoey I think you will need a longer winter than the rest of us so you get all your projects finished!! lol

Yum-filled French toast! Will have to try that. : )

The French Toast looks scrumptious. I've had stuffed french toast before but not with blueberries (my favorite berry)
ReplyDeleteThe colors in your table runner are perfect. You have a good eye.
Oh my, that looks very delicious!

I will leave the sewing department to you, Zoey while admiring what you make.
ReplyDeleteBut in the berry-filled French toast department... do you need an assistant? I like decadent!!
The rules on parsley sound very logical.
