Breakfast

Dishes

French Toast

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Serving Size: 2-3

Ingredients

4-6 slices of bread (such as brioche, challah, or French bread)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Butter or cooking oil for greasing the pan
Maple syrup, fresh fruits, or powdered sugar for topping (optional)

Tips

For added flavour, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of orange zest to the batter.
To keep the French toast warm while cooking in batches, place cooked slices on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) until ready to serve.
Experiment with different bread types and flavors to create unique variations of French toast.
Serve French toast with a side of crispy bacon, sausage, or fresh berries for a complete breakfast experience.

Instructions

1. In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined. This will be your French toast batter.

2. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or cooking oil to lightly grease the surface.

3. Dip each slice of bread into the French toast batter, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Allow any excess batter to drip off back into the bowl.

4. Place the coated bread onto the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if needed to prevent burning.

5. Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining slices of bread until all are cooked to perfection.

6. Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a serving plate. Top with maple syrup, fresh fruits, powdered sugar, or any other desired toppings to add a touch of sweetness and flavour.

French toast is a classic breakfast dish that can be easily prepared in your motorhome. It requires simple ingredients and basic cooking techniques, making it an ideal choice for a quick and satisfying morning meal. Whether you're enjoying a peaceful morning in a picturesque campground or fueling up for a day of adventure on the road, French toast is sure to add a touch of comfort and indulgence to your motorhome travels.

Overnight Oats

Preparation Time: 5 minutes (plus overnight chilling)

Serving Size: 1

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds for topping (e.g., sliced bananas, berries, chopped almonds)

Tips

Overnight oats can be enjoyed cold, but if you prefer them warm, you can heat them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or gently warm them on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk if needed.
Customise your overnight oats by adding flavourings such as vanilla extract, cocoa powder, cinnamon, or nut butter. Adjust the sweetness level to your liking by adding more or less sweetener.
To make your overnight oats even more portable for your motorhome adventures, use a sealed travel container or individual serving-sized jars.

Instructions

1. In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yoghurt (if using), chia seeds, and sweetener (if desired). Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly mixed.

2. Secure the lid on the container and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to chill and soak overnight, or for a minimum of 4 hours. The oats will absorb the liquid and soften as they sit.

3. The next morning, give the mixture a good stir to ensure the ingredients are well incorporated. If the consistency is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more milk to achieve your desired consistency.

4. Top your overnight oats with fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds of your choice. Feel free to get creative and experiment with various combinations to suit your taste preferences.

5. Enjoy your delicious and hassle-free breakfast right from the container or transfer it to a bowl for a more leisurely dining experience.

Overnight oats are a fantastic option for motorhome owners as they require minimal effort and can be prepared in advance. They provide a nutritious and filling breakfast that will fuel your adventures throughout the day. By prepping the oats the night before, you'll have a delicious meal ready to grab and go as you hit the road, allowing you to make the most of your motorhome travels without compromising on taste or convenience.
