The Wonders of Simplicity

It's been a lazy morning. This is my first Monday off since November and it feels so luxurious to be able to wake up late and not really have much to do during the day. Will requested French Toast for breakfast; I was going to make eggs Florentine. I thought about making pancakes, but later decided on the French Toast as it didn't require going to the supermarket to get the eggs and lemon required for the eggs Florentine. Once again, tofu has surprised me with it's versatility. This is simply the best recipe for French Toast...and it's vegan:

Monday French Toast

1 pkg of silken firm tofu
15 ml vanilla extract
pinch of nutmeg
pinch of cinnamon
1/2 pinch of salt
1 tsp olive oil, or any other oil you have on hand
100-150 ml of vanilla soy milk
6 slices wholemeal bread (I used soy and linseed for texture

1. Toast your bread. Set aside.
2. Blend all of the ingredients in a blender and transfer to a bowl.
3. Heat an oiled fry pan over medium heat and dip your toast into the batter ensuring that both sides are covered.
4. Place in the
fry pan and cook each side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
5. Keep warm in an 180ºC oven until ready to eat. Enjoy with icing sugar and/or honey.
