0:00
- This is some pretty bread y'all.
0:06
Valentine's is just around the corner,
0:17
I might serve Michael breakfast in bed.
0:18
It depends if he's a good boy now til Valentine's Day.
0:22
But early on in our relationship
0:25
I used to serve him breakfast in bed
0:31
- [Theresa] (indistinct)
0:33
- He laughs about it,
0:34
but he didn't know how to act,
0:37
he had never been treated that way.
0:40
I don't think he's been treated that way since.
0:43
(Paula and Theresa laughing)
0:47
something for me to just make him feel special.
0:51
So I think I'm gonna serve French toast
0:54
Valentine's morning to him,
0:56
and let that be our horah.
0:59
And salute to Valentine's Day.
1:00
So I'm starting with challah bread.
1:04
Like hallah, hallah, hallah for a dollar.
1:07
Right, Theresa, isn't that what you tell me?
1:09
- [Theresa] That's right.
1:10
- People not gonna be saying Paula, you so stupid.
1:14
- [Theresa] I hope it.
1:15
- It's challah, not hallah.
1:17
- [Theresa] Ask Eddie too, he says hallah.
1:22
- [Eddie] I don't know.
1:23
- [Theresa] I'm throwing you with me on this one.
1:25
You said hallah too, didn't you?
1:26
- [Eddie] Yeah, yeah.
1:28
- [Theresa] I don't think he pronounces the H.
1:28
- These two smart people say hallah,
1:30
so that's what I'm calling it.
1:31
- [Theresa] And it's egg bread is what it-
1:35
So this is what I'm gonna use to make our French toast,
1:37
but first I'm gonna put together our liquid
1:42
that we're gonna be dipping
1:50
Let me get these beat up.
1:52
And I've just got half and half.
1:55
I think it's half and half,
1:57
- [Theresa] Half and half.
1:57
- It's not whipping easy.
2:08
Then we just gonna set this aside.
2:12
I'm gonna put one tablespoon of sugar in this.
2:15
I have two tablespoons of...
2:19
Let me tell you what this is,
2:20
it's strawberry chocolate French toast, y'all.
2:23
So the recipe calls for one quart
2:27
of whole and sliced real thin strawberries.
2:37
Let me get some of this out of the way.
2:41
So, these have three tablespoons of sugar on them.
2:48
Just real pretty strawberries.
2:51
And you'll wanna put your sugar on these,
2:54
and let 'em sit in the refrigerate 15 minutes,
2:57
30 minutes, something like that.
2:59
All right, so we've got our mixture
3:02
that we're gonna dip our French toast in,
3:05
so now I'm gonna mix together the filling
3:09
that's gonna go in our French toast.
3:14
I've got four ounces of cream cheese
3:19
that is softened, hopefully.
3:26
Hopefully it's a little soft.
3:29
It really depends on how many servings
3:32
of this French toast that you're gonna make
3:35
as far as you may need the whole eight ounces
3:39
of cream cheese, I don't know.
3:43
And we're gonna sweeten that
3:44
with a little confectioner's sugar,
3:49
and a little vanilla.
3:58
- [Theresa] Right down to the end.
4:07
And I've got two ounces
4:10
of shaved semi sweet chocolate squares.
4:15
Chocolate strawberries,
4:17
that's so representative of Valentine's, isn't it?
4:20
All right, so in goes our chocolate.
4:29
All right, y'all, I got my pan heating,
4:31
and I sprayed it with a little nonstick,
4:35
and now I'm gonna fry our French toast
4:39
in a half a stick of butter.
4:45
And you have to be careful
4:46
because butter will burn.
4:51
So in order to stop that I think I'll put in
4:55
just a little bit of olive oil,
4:58
and that'll stop it from really burning,
5:06
All right, now I'm gonna,
5:09
I'm gonna slice my challah
5:12
like a half an inch thick.
5:21
Don't want 'em too thick
5:22
because this is gonna be a sandwich.
5:30
I was getting too skinny with that piece.
5:36
So now we're gonna take
5:41
our chocolate and cream cheese mixture,
5:48
we're gonna spread it on one side of our bread.
5:57
(indistinct) you can really double up that, oops,
6:06
depending on how thick you like it.
6:09
Because I wanna know that it's there, honey.
6:12
All right, so that's one that's ready.
6:23
- To dip in our challah.
6:40
This pan's so big I almost need more butter
6:45
'cause it's so spread out.
7:08
I think that one's ready to turn.
7:10
- [Theresa] I'll bring you a plate
7:12
just so you have something to put it on.
7:15
- That one's not quite ready.
7:30
Pretty, pretty, pretty.
7:33
And delicious, delicious, delicious.
7:39
Now I like my French toast with syrup,
7:44
but I'm topping these
7:45
with our fresh sweetened strawberries,
7:49
but I can still stand a little syrup on the side,
7:57
Ooh, Michael's gonna be one happy
8:01
Valentine camper man.
8:07
I'm just letting it lie on the paper towel for a second.
8:23
My egg's talking to me.
8:37
This is so beautiful.
8:46
Look what I just did y'all.
8:48
- [Eddie] What did you do?
8:49
- I don't know, I turned it sideways,
8:55
I think I'm changing my name to Calamity Jane.
9:01
Now we're just gonna top this with those beautiful
9:07
sweetened strawberries.
9:17
And I'm fill up a bottle with a little syrup,
9:24
insert that on the side.
9:27
Too bad he's not here right now,
9:29
I could just serve him this and be done with it.
9:33
- [Eddie] We'll test it for him.
9:52
- [Theresa] I'm coming.
9:57
- [Theresa] Ooh, look at the filling.
9:58
Here, let me scoot it closer to you.
10:00
That bread's even hard to cut
10:02
after it's been cooked, you know?
10:09
- [Theresa] It looks so good though.
10:33
The chocolate and the strawberries,
10:41
- [Theresa] Look at all that chocolate.
10:48
Eddie, you ready to cut so you can have some too?
10:53
The Cameraman sometimes gets
10:56
the short end of the stick.
10:59
- [Theresa] Eddie says it's time for you to say
11:00
love and best dishes.
11:02
It's time for me to say love and best dishes, y'all.
11:04
Happy Valentine's Day.
