French toast with cherries, almonds and Floris Kriek

Ingredients for 4 servings

 
4 slices of wholemeal or whole grain bread
300 gr of fresh, pitted cherries (use cherries from cans as alternative)
1 egg
8 table spoon of full-cream milk
4 table spoons of butter
2 dl Floris Kriek
4 table spoons of almond chips
powdered sugar

Preparation:

Cut the pitted cherries in half and marinate them for 2 to 3 hours in the beer. Use a shape to cut rounds out of the slices of bread. Alternatively, you can cut triangles out of the bread. Then prepare a batter with the egg and milk. Heat the butter in a frying pan, dip the bread in the batter, let it drip and fry the bread on both sides in the frying pan. Put some powdered sugar on dessert plates. Divide the marinated cherries over the warm breads and put them on the plates. Heat the almond chips very shortly in a frying pan (don’t use any butter) and sprinkle them over the breads. Serve with a cold Floris Kriek.
