Recipe Wednesday...it's something new!

Recipe Wednesday

Have you ever had a cannoli?  I hadn't had one until Jason and I went to New York last year in December to visit his cousin Michelle and her boyfriend Jack.  They took us to a pastry shop in Little Italy and we had one there...they.are.so.gooooood!

Seriously...get your hands on one of these...

Now, back to Recipe Wednesday...this is a recipe I found that I am for sure going to try maybe Sunday morning.  It is called Cannoli French Toast, and it looks yummmy!!

Cannoli French Toast

1/4 cup confectioners' sugar plus more for dusting

1 cup ricotta cheese

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

12 slices sandwich bread, crusts removed

2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Sift confectioners' sugar into a small bowl, then stir in ricotta cheese. In a medium bowl, beat together 2 eggs and 1/2 cup milk.

Trim the crusts off 12 slices of sandwich bread and using a rolling pin, roll out the bread to flatten. Add 1 Tablespoon of the sweetened ricotta cheese to each slice, fold over and pinch the edges together. (The edges will seal during cooking.)

In a large skillet, heat 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive over medium heat. Working in 3 batches, dip the stuffed bread slices in the egg mixture and transfer to the skillet. Cook, turning once, until puffed and golden, about 3 minutes. Dust with more confectioners' sugar before serving. Syrup is good too.

So, as for Recipe Wednesday, be prepared to see some food I have either made or plan on making in the near future.  Hope you enjoy!
