Mango French Toast

French Toast:
loaf of good bread from the bakery (my favorite is Toaster Sunflower Honey)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
dash of cinnamon
splash of milk

Mango Topping:
1 mango
6 oz vanilla or plain yogurt
cream cheese
cinnamon

Optional Vanilla Mint Cream topping:
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp finely chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon honey
cinnamon
cayenne


French Toast:
Just like any french toast, mix together eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and milk in a bowl.
Cut 3 or four slices of bread off of the loaf of bread dip into egg mixture, coating both sides of the bread.
Melt butter in skillet and and drop in coated slices of bread and cook until golden on both sides.

Mango Topping:
Skin and finely dice the mango.
In a mixing bowl, add the yogurt, mango, and cinnamon and mash with a fork to desired texture.

Vanilla Mint Cream Topping:
Using a mixer, whip the whipping cream until it begins to thicken.
Add in vanilla extract, honey, cinnamon, and a pinch of cayenne and continue to blend until soft peaks begin to form.
Gently stir in finely chopped fresh mint with a fork.

Place French Toast on a plate. Cover with a layer of cream cheese, then smother with the Mango Topping. Top off with a scoop or two of the Vanilla Mint Cream topping.
