Dedication, dedication

Hi there,
After a busy, busy week at the farm it is time for a nice relaxing weekend with of course a good snack to go with it. But that's the thing here... the groceries are done once a week and you can add your preferences, but your never quite sure if they will make it. So basically it is always a surprise what you're gonna get. And then you have to share these goodies with 8 other people. Luckily there are no fights...yet. And then there's only one tiny tiny kitchen to cook in. So yeah sometimes it's quite challenging, but that's what they say. "A good cook can cook anywhere"  So I'm trying. :-)
For today my French toast with homemade yoghurt cherry ice cream. For 2-3 persons
what do you need?
5 pieces of white bread
2 eggs
4 table spoons milk
1 table spoon of sugar
Maple syrup

For the ice cream
20 cherries fresh or from a pot
150 ml of full fat Greek yoghurt
Juice of half a lemon

To make the ice cream, I used potted cherries cause that's what there was. Put these in a bowl and add 50 ml of the cherries juice in the bowl. Add the yoghurt and the lemon juice, mix these all together. The color should be really pink. If not, add a little more cherry juice. Cover the bowl and put this in the freezer. I made this the night before. But you can also make this the same morning leave it in the freezer for 2 hours and you have a nice semi fredo. (Sort of frozen). Before you make the toast, get the ice cream out of the freezer, so that it can get soft.
On to the French toast. Cut the pieces of bread diagonal in half. Put the eggs, milk and sugar in a bowl give it a good whisk, put a stir fry on medium high heat add a good piece of butter in the pan. Wait until the butter is melted and getting just a little brown. Get the piece of bread and slip it through the mixture. Make sure every piece of bread is covered and get it in the pan. Bake till both side are golden brown. Repeat till all the pieces are baked. Get a big spoon and make scoops of the ice cream and put these on the plate. Add the french toast and drizzle a little bit of maple syrup over it. And you're good to go.
Enjoy,

Love,
the kitchenprincess
