How To Make Baileys French Toast

Published

on

Baileys French toast is made of fluffy, sweet challah bread soaked in a Baileys-infused egg wash and topped with a decadent chocolate and Baileys sauce. It’s easy to make, and the Irish cream offers so much flavor that you barely need to add any other ingredients.

Challah or brioche bread works best for this recipe since they are thick, rich, and already have great flavor. However, you can use another bread of your choice. Thinner, less sturdy bread will need less time soaking in the egg wash and will have a shorter cooking time.

This French toast can be served any time of the year. It’s great for Christmas morning or St. Patrick’s Day, but it’s also delicious on a weekend or served for a springtime brunch. It can easily be doubled or tripled for larger groups and you can turn it into an overnight French toast bake.

Ingredients

For the French Toast:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 to 6 slices challah bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter

For the Chocolate Sauce:

  • 4 ounces dark chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons Baileys Irish cream

For Serving:

  • Whipped cream, optional
  • Fresh strawberries, optional

Preparing Vegetarian bolognese

Published

By

This delicious recipe for vegetarian bolognese sauce with lentils from Eat Well for Less makes enough for 2 meals. Brilliant with spaghetti or in a lasagne.

Each serving provides 296 kcal, 13g protein, 48g carbohydrates (of which 10g sugars), 4g fat (of which 2g saturates), 8.5g fibre and 0.3g salt.

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 large onions, chopped
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 2 stems celery, chopped
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, or 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée
  • 500g/1lb 2oz Puy lentils, rinsed and drained
  • 1 x 400g tin tomatoes
  • 1½ litres/2½ pints vegetable stock
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 300g/10½oz dried pasta
  • vegetarian cheese, to serve
  • green salad, to serve
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Heat a large sauté pan or casserole dish until medium hot. Add the olive oil, onions, carrots and celery and cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes. You want them to soften but not colour – you can put a lid onto the pan to help keep the moisture in and steam the vegetables at the same time.

  2. Add the thyme and garlic and cook for another minute then add the tomato purée and turn the heat up. Stir well so that the tomato purée goes all through the vegetables then add the Puy lentils and mix once more.

  3. Tip in the tinned tomatoes and the vegetable stock, stir well and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down to a gentle simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are tender and the sauce reduced slightly. Add the balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper.

  4. When the sauce has only 15 minutes left to cook, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook to al dente according to packet instructions, then drain, reserving some of the cooking water.

  5. You have enough sauce to serve 8 people. To serve 4, set aside half the sauce at this point. (See the “tips” section for ideas.)

  6. Tip the drained pasta into the sauté pan with the sauce and mix well, adding the reserved pasta water if necessary to coat all the pasta in sauce. Serve straightaway with a green salad and a grating of cheese.
