Directions for Honey French Toast

To make Honey Leches: In mixing bowl, whisk blueberry honey, evaporated milk, coconut milk, eggs, vanilla extract and cinnamon to evenly combine. Keep chilled.

To make Berry Garnish: In mixing bowl, lightly toss raspberries, blueberries and strawberries to evenly combine. Keep chilled.

To make Hot Honey: In small mixing bowl, whisk blueberry honey and cayenne pepper to evenly combine.

Keep warm so hot honey is pourable.

Step 2: Arrange pound cake slices, side by side, flat, in casserole dish or pan with sides.

Step 3: Pour Honey Leches over and around pound cake slices; soak 1 minute.

Step 4: Lightly coat griddle with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 5: Remove pound cake slices from Honey Leches, allowing liquid to drain off, then place each slice on hot griddle.

Step 6: On griddle, cook pound cake slices approximately 2 minutes on each side until golden crispy and hot throughout.

Step 7: To serve, place two overlapping pound cake slices on plate (four plates total).

Step 8: Top each with approximately 1/4 cup mixed berries then drizzle each with approximately 2 tablespoons hot honey.
