Apparently it’s cheaper in Kensington, but this little block of heaven from St. Lawrence Market was totally worth it.

Until last week, Ontario was pretty much limited to hot dogs and sausages. But a revision of the law means that next month will mark the beginning of delicious variety.

The square was packed with tourists and the Bay St. lunch crowd, and many stalls sold out of food before even an hour had passed.

I was even interviewed on TV – finally I got the chance to share my vision of a taco cart on every corner with the world!

Summary

A cheese-filled pita prepared with blue French toast mix and lightly topped with icing.

Preparation
Step 1

You will need:

  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Blue food colouring
  • Icing
  • Pitas
  • Shredded cheese

24-hour IGA

Step 2

Combine three eggs, some milk, and some food colouring in a bowl. Some people like vanilla extract in their french toast, so throw some of that in too if you like. Also, food colouring brands vary in strength.

Step 3

Open a pita and fill it with shredded cheese. Hopefully you bought the kind of pitas that don’t break apart, because otherwise this is going to get very messy. Try to even out the layer of cheese so that it isn’t all clumped in one area.

Step 4

Dip the pita into the bluemix bowl, covering as much surface area as possible. Try to soak it a little.

Step 5

Fry that sucker in a pan or wok or whatever is handy. When browned slightly, you can add the icing and eat!
