Hawaiian French Toast

There is no end to the selection of eateries under the canopy on Fremont Street in Las Vegas.  Most of the Fremont Street casinos offer deli style, buffet and restaurant dining.    Mermaid's is a small, slots only casino that offers such culinary delicacies as foot long hotdogs and deep fried Twinkies.  Fitzgerald's has a good size McDonald's and a Krispy Creme in addition to their buffet and restaurant.   The Four Queens has a Subway, Burger King, and Chicago Brewing Company for those wanting pizza in addition to their café (Magnolia's Veranda) and higher end Hugo's Cellar .  Some like the Golden Nugget offers a café, six specialty restaurants (steakhouse, seafood, asian, sushi, etc), the buffet, The Chocolate Box (gourmet chocolates) and a Starbucks.

We ate breakfast at Carson Street Café  located in the Golden Nugget.  It is a wonderful restaurant with sides open café style, a railing separating diners from passersby.  The wait-staff are some of the friendliest there are.  The food is wonderful!

My husband and ordered our standard egg breakfast with a side of biscuits and gravy.  One of our friends ordered the Hawaiian French Toast.  My gosh, it looked so good!  The French toast was made using Hawaiian sweet bread then topped with maple syrup, fresh strawberries, banana and chopped walnuts.

Hawaiian French toast would be very easy to make at home.  The limiting factor would be finding Hawaiian sweet bread in areas where it is not popular.  The alternative is to use homemade Hawaiian sweet bread.  There are several recipes for this bread available online.  I will be posting the recipe I decide using here when I make the bread.
