French Toast with Strawberry Butter

Serve this French toast made with Italian bread topped with flavored butter — a perfect way to say “I love you.”

Strawberry Butter:
1/2 cup LAND O LAKES Butter, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon strawberry-flavored preserves

French Toast:
8 (3/4-inch) slices Italian bread
1/3 cup milk
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup LAND O LAKES Butter
Powdered sugar

Combine 1/2 cup butter, 1/3 cup powdered sugar and preserves in small mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Cover; refrigerate until serving time.

Cut bread slices with a 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. Combine milk, eggs and vanilla in 9-inch pie plate; mix well. Dip bread into milk mixture, turning to coat both sides. Let stand 1 to 2 minutes.

Melt 1/4 cup butter in 10-inch skillet or griddle until sizzling; add bread. Cook, turning once, until golden brown (5 to 6 minutes).

To serve, lightly sprinkle hot French toast with powdered sugar; serve with Strawberry Butter.

Makes 4 (2-slice) servings.

TIP: Spread any remaining Strawberry Butter on bagels or English muffins.

TIP: If you do not have a heart-shaped cookie cutter, use a heart-shaped template and sharp knife to cut heart shapes.
