Cookin with Debbia
By Debbie Johnston
Our cook of the month for February is
Tracy Fletcher. She and her husband, Mark
have four children, so she has lots of little
hands to help her in the kitchen, as they
take time to make each meal special. In
keeping with that emphasis, Tracy has
brought Valentine’s Day ideas and recipes
to today’s column.
LOVELY FRENCH TOAST
2 pieces soft bread per person cooking spray
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs, scrambled, plus
2-1/2 inch, heart shaped cookie
2 eggs per person
cutter
Cut center out of bread with heart shaped cookie cutter. Set
aside. Combine scrambled eggs and milk. Place in pie pan. Spray
skillet with nonstick spray. Dip bread in egg. Cook 2 minutes.
Turn. Crack egg into center of heart shape. Cover and cook 2 - 3
minutes more. Gently transfer to serving plate.
SANDWICH MADE WITH LOVE
