My own version of French Toast with strawberry sauce

It is now past midnight but there is too much on my mind to keep me from sleeping. Some sweets should help.

Ingredients:

3-4 pieces of bread (any bread, as long as it's plain)
2 eggs
2/3 cup of milk
1/3 cup of light cream or half and half
1/4 tsp of salt
few drops of vanilla extract

Ingredients for strawberry sauce:

10 strawberries, diced roughly
1/4 cup of sugar, or you can use agave nectar (good for people with diabetes)
pinch of salt
1/8 cup of sherry or vodka
1 cup of water

Steps:

Cook strawberries in water, turn the heat to low when it starts to boil
Add sugar (agave nectar should be added after the heat is reduce to simmer), salt, sherry altogether to the strawberries.
Set the stove on simmer and cook until strawberries become soft.
Use a spoon to smash the strawberries roughly.
Set aside till it cools down.



Beat the eggs, milk, salt, light cream and vanilla extract all in a bowl.
Dip slices of bread in egg juice till they are soaked.
Spray the non-stick pan with Pam and put in the bread.
Fry will both sides turn brown.

Enjoy
