• Irresistibly creamy Irish toast

   

  What’s Irish toast, you ask? It’s French toast, but with Baileys instead of maple syrup. Advantage Ireland.

  Ingredients:

  ¾ cup Baileys Original Irish Cream

  1 cup sliced strawberries

  1 cup raspberries

  ½ cup blueberries

  ¼ cup sugar

  1 ¼ cup whipping cream

  2 tbsp powdered sugar

  4 eggs

  1 tsp vanilla extract

  ¼ tsp ground cinnamon

  Pinch salt

  8 thick slices French bread

  ¼ cup butter

  
  

  For fruit topping:

  Toss together strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and 2 tbsp sugar, and set aside.

  
  

  For Baileys whipped cream:

  Using an electric mixer, beat ¾ cup of whipping cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Stir in 2 tbsp Baileys Original Irish Cream and set aside.

  
  

  For the Irish toast:

  In a shallow bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar, remaining whipping cream, remaining Baileys Original Irish Cream, eggs, vanilla  and cinnamon until blended.  Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. In batches, dip the bread slices in the egg mixture and add to the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown, adding remaining butter as necessary. 

  Serve each Irish Toast slice with the fruit topping and a dollop of Baileys whipped cream.

  1L tomato juice 

  4 oz lemon juice

  In a pitcher, combine all of the ingredients for the Ketel One Bloody Mary Base and stir until it’s mixed well. Combine the Bloody Mary Base, vodka (along with a jigger to measure) and whatever garnishes you want. We like celery, pickle spears, bacon, cheese cubes and pepperoncini. You could even add cooked shrimp or steak kebabs! Leave out extra hot sauces and spices for guests to truly make it their own.
