Season 11 - Breakfast / S11B26
Mallorca French Toast
Story
The morning sun peeked through the wooden shutters as Don Luis wiped the flour off his apron — the one with his name stitched boldly across the chest. “This one,” he whispered with a smile, “was your abuela’s favorite Sunday treat.” He reached for a soft, golden *pan de Mallorca*, its swirls still dusted with powdered sugar. “French toast, yes… but with a Puerto Rican twist!” he chuckled. “Fluffy, sweet, and kissed with cinnamon — just how mornings should start.” As the scent filled the rustic kitchen, even the whippet at his feet wagged with joy, knowing breakfast was about to become legendary. 🌞🐶 Time + Nutrition + Cost
