Hello! Welcome to Dontmissmyplate.

Thank you for visiting my website! I'm Maxine, a food blogger, home cook, travel enthusiast, and lover of food and culture. I’m passionate about fusion cuisine, a style of cooking that blends ingredients and techniques from different countries, regions, and traditions.

My approach is influenced by both Southern African and American cooking, shaped by my life experiences and reflected in the diversity of my recipes. I also focus on farm-to-table cooking, using fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced locally whenever possible. I believe food tastes best when it’s in season and close to its origin.

Travel plays a big role in how I cook and create. I love sharing my food adventures, from what I’ve eaten to where to eat, while discovering new flavors, cultures, and techniques that continue to inspire me.

I hope this space feels helpful and inspiring. Whether you're in the mood for something familiar or ready to try something new, you’ll find plenty to explore here. Happy cooking!

The inspiration for this was both the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and the popularity of both peanut butter and mulberries in Zimbabwe. Since I could not find the berries, black berries were the closest substitute. The combination of sweet and salty comes together seamlessly through the gooey French toast, the perfect treat for brunch!

Stuffed Peanut Butter and Black Berry French Toast

Stuffed Peanut Butter and Black Berry French Toast

Peanut butter and jelly - an American favourite - is the inspiration of this French toast. The salty peanut butter and sweet, tart berries come together in this buttery, soft brioche melody. You'll love it.
Prep time: 5 MCook time: 20 MTotal time: 25 M

Ingredients:

  • 2 large slice  brioche
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup mulberries/black berries
  • 4 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon

Instructions:

  1. Reduce the berries in the sugar and add the lemon juice. 
  2. When the sauce begins to thicken add water to prevent burning. Crush the berries and continue to mix until it appears to be a jam-like consistency.
  3. Make an incision in the bread slices (careful not to cut the sides). Stuff each slice with 2 tablespoons of mulberry reduction and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.
  4. In a container or glassware, whisk the vanilla, eggs, milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt then wet brioche slices on each side (do not over soak).
  5. In a greased pan, cook each side of the brioche slices for about 5 minutes on medium-low heat - careful not to burn.
  6. Slice into halves and serve with icing sugar, fresh berries, and syrup.
