Fronch Toast & Tempeh Bacon

This was a 50% success. The Fronch toast was super awesome!!! One thing that truly would be depressing about being a vegan to the core would be the lack of delicious breakfast foods. Almost every dish contains eggs, milk, or butter. The author of Vegan with a Vengeance admits that breakfast sucks for her when she goes out with her friends because the only thing she can eat is oatmeal. Boo!

So the trick to the egg-like taste of the toast is chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour. Who knew? It was fun searching for it in the store. I hired my husband to help with the search and after a few minutes I heard him say, "I only see garbanzo bean flour". Tee hee.

So all you do is mix the following in a bowl:

1 cup rice milk
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup chickpea flour

Then dunk your bread in the mix, then in to the pan to fry over medium high heat. Use stale bread or baguette slices. I opted for the baguette, since stale bread is slightly creepy to me. :P
Cook each side for two minutes. Eat with some syrup for yummy goodness.

The tempeh bacon was, um, icky. I think I did several things wrong, so I'm going to try again then post about a second attempt. It was all good though, I think we demolished the fronch toast regardless.
