Here's a festive Easter treat and no-fuss brunch addition—all rolled into one! Like the CT home economists did, you can easily shape these eggs from bread with a cookie cutter, prepare them the same as traditional French toast and "paint" the pieces will jellies. Plus, youngsters, can decorate their own helpings with their name or designs.

French Toast Easter Eggs Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 20 min.

Yield: 6-8 Servings

10 10 20

Ingredients

1 loaf (1 pound) French bread, cut into 3/4-inch slices
4 eggs
2/3 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
Strawberry, mint and grape jellies

Directions

Cut each slice of bread with a 3-in. oval cookie cutter; discard crust. In a bowl, beat eggs, orange juice, sugar, orange peel and salt. Melt butter in a large skillet. Dip both sides of bread into egg mixture; cook in butter until golden brown on both sides. Meanwhile, heat jellies in microwave-safe bowls just until warm. Transfer each to a separate plastic or pastry bag; cut a small hole in the corner of bag. Decorate French toast to resemble Easter eggs. Yield: 6-8 servings.
