Amazing french toast! A great choice for breakfast or brunch! I know … it is a classic and basic breakfast recipe but I fell in love with this one after a tiny mistake! My french toast recipe has a big ratio of heavy cream instead of milk and this leads to very rich and moist french toasts! After this tiny mistake I got obsessed with french toast and I make them every weekend! I know that this recipe is not the most “healthy” and low-fat breakfast, but still once a week we deserve having one indulgent breakfast! I love to serve them with butter and honey and kids of course love them!! Give them a try and let me know!
Ingredients:
– 8-10 brioche slices or wheat sandwich bread
– 4 eggs
– 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
– 3/4 cup ( 187.5 ml ) heavy cream 35%
– 1/4 cup ( 62.5 ml ) whole milk
– 1.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
– butter for cooking
– butter and honey for serving
Instructions:
– Place a non-stick pan on medium heat and let it heat, while making the custard.
– In a shallow bowl or a small oven pan whisk well the eggs with the cinnamon. It is important to whisk and dissolve the eggs really good and not to have any cinnamon lumps into the mixture.
– Add the heavy cream, the milk, the vanilla extract and the sugar and whisk until fully incorporated.
– Start with one bread slice at time: dip the bread slice in the egg mixture, press it gently on top to absorb as much as custard is possible (depending on the bread you use, you may let more or less time each slice into the custard to absorb e proper amount, try with the first slices to find out the proper time your slices need to soak into the custard before cooking them). Flip the slice over and let the second side to soak into the custard.
– Once the pan is hot enough wrap a small amount of butter (about 1 teaspoon) with paper towel and rub the pan with it in order to grease it. Transfer the soaked bread slice onto the pan and let cook the first side for 2′-3′ until golden brown. Flip and let the second side to cook for 2′ more until golden brown. The french toast is ready! We remove the french toast from the pan, we clean the pan with a paper towel and repeat with the rest bread slices.
– Your french toast is ready! Serve immediately, while it is still warm. I like to spread each french toast with butter and honey! Enjoy!
