French Muffins w/ Strawberries & Sour Cream

INGREDIENTS

• 1 Pint Strawberries
• 1/4 Cup Sugar
• 3 Eggs
• 2 Tbs Milk
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 2 Tbs Sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• Pinch of salt
• 2 English Muffins, split
• 1 1/2 Tbs Unsalted Butter
• 1/2 Cup Sour Cream

DIRECTIONS

Set aside a whole strawberry for garnish. Slice the remaining berries and put them in a small bowl. Sprinkle with the 1/4 cup of sugar and toss to coat.

In a large shallow dish, lightly beat the eggs, milk, vanilla, spices, sugar, and salt until blended. Place the muffin halves, split-side down in the egg and milk mixture. Prick the muffin with a fork and soak for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn the muffins and soak until moist throughout, 1 minute longer.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat. Add the muffins and cook until golden brown on the bottom about 2 minutes. Turn and cook until crisp and brown on the second side, about 2 minutes longer.

Remove the muffins to serving plates and top each half with sliced berries and a spoonful of sour cream. Garnish each plate with a whole strawberry.
