Season 09 - Breakfast / S09B05
Café con Leche French Toast
Story
Every Sunday, Don Luis starts the day with a warm cup of café con leche. One morning, his grandson peeked over the counter, eyes sparkling with curiosity, and asked, “Abuelito, can we dip *pan* in the coffee?” Don Luis chuckled, paused for a second, then replied, “¡Claro que sí! But let’s make it special.” That morning, a new tradition was born. Thick slices of bread, soaked in café con leche custard, sizzled on the hot pan as the kitchen filled with sweet aromas. With a drizzle of syrup and a dusting of cinnamon, breakfast became a family favorite that sparked stories and smiles with every bite. ☀️💛 Time & Cost:
