Heart Shaped French Toast – a cute Valentine’s lunch idea for kids.
I love making cute holiday-themed lunches and treats for my daycare hooligans! Here’s a really cute kids’ lunch idea for Valentine’s Day: Heart shaped French Toast with cinnamon sugar. I’ve added a few cute heart-shaped sides to this lunch as well.
It’s always fun to serve food with a them on Valentines Day. I usually aim for as much red or pink food a I can, and of course, anything heart shaped is great too!
Heart Shaped shaped French Toast is just perfect for Valentines day and such an easy way to add a bit of fun to lunch time (or breakfast or dinner for that matter!
What you’ll need to make shaped French Toast:
- cookie cutter
- bread
- your favourite French Toast recipe (I’ll tell you how I made mine below)
- butter
- frying pan or skillet
- sugar and cinnamon
- syrup
How to make our Valentines French Toast:
- Use a cookie cutter to cut the hearts from slices of whole wheat bread. I was just able to get 3 hearts out of each slice.
- Whisk together 2 eggs and about 2 tbsp of milk.
- Melt a bit of butter in the frying pan until you hear it sizzling.
- Dip each heart into the egg/milk mixture, and fry over medium heat, flipping them once, until they’re golden brown.
- Transfer them to a plate, and top with cinnamon-sugar and syrup.
To make lunch a little more festive, I served ham and strawberry hearts on the side.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
