Primal French Toast

So Yummy!!!
I’ve had this two days in a row now for lunch. tee hee

Ingredients2 slices Paleo Zucchini Bread or Paleo Bread  (elanaspantry.com has a wicked paleo bread recipe)
1-2 eggs
dash cinnamon
1/2 tbsp coconut ghee for frying
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup blackberries
Ali All Natural Syrup (I used boysenberry)

Directions

Heat skillet and melt the coconut ghee. Whisk eggs with cinnamon and coat your sliced bread in it. I like to let it soak up the egg a little bit, but be careful cause this bread is more fragile than that stuff from the grocery store.
Cook both sides until lightly browned. Serve with Greek yogurt, topped with berries and a bit of stevia sweetened syrup (optional). Could add some walnuts too! Yum!
