Steemit Iron Chef 2018 Act 02 #01 : Granola French Toast Dessert Platter
Granola is a favourite breakfast cereal - made with rolled oats, wheat germ, honey & coconut oil, and for many all over the world, a slice of toast often is a lifesaver. Who does not enjoy smooth and creamy custard or Caramel Popcorn, but to mix these all up into one dish sounds simply crazy!
Seeing all the amazing entries thus far into @progressivechef's Steemit Iron Chef 2018 Contest , I feel quite daunted, but nevertheless present to you my very first entry into this contest ever!
Pairing Granola, Bread & Custard Powder just sounds plain weird to me, but I managed to make a really decadent dessert and simply called it Granola French Toast Dessert Platter.
Ingredients required:
- Raisin Bread - cut into shapes with cookie cutter
- Granola
- Caramel Popcorn
- Eggs
- Milk
- Custard Powder
- Sugar
- Vanilla
- Glace Cherries
- Fresh Dates
- Fresh Strawberries
- Flaked Almonds
- Pumpkin Seeds
Raisin bread shapes, soft and flavourful after being dipped in the egg, custard powder, milk, vanilla & sugar mixture, then encrusted with crunchy Granola and pan fried in a little butter and coconut oil till crispy brown on the outside.
I made a cherry glaze, reserved some for drizzling over the dessert, dipped strawberries in this to make beautiful glazed strawberries and glazed the pumpkin seeds with the remaining cherry glaze.
Plump sweet Strawberries, Almond Flakes, Fresh Dates, Glazed Pumpkin Seeds & Caramel Popcorn added to make a dessert for two, a really delicious blend of flavours.
Who would ever have thought bread , cereal, custard and popcorn could be paired to make something truly delicious!
Really hope I've made it in time, and look forward to seeing all the weird and wonderful food pairings here on @progressivechef's Steemit Iron Chef 2018 Contest
