For the French Toast

8 slices Brioche bread

4 large Eggs

1 cup Milk

1 tsp Watkins vanilla extract

1 tsp Ground cinnamon

2 tbs Butter

1 cup Fresh blueberries

For the Walnut Praline

1 cup Walnuts

1 cup sugar

Method

Prepare the French Toast

Make the Egg Mixture

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Soak and Cook

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Dip slices of brioche into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for a few seconds on each side. Cook in the skillet until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining slices.

Add Blueberries

During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle fresh blueberries on top of the French toast to warm them through.

Prepare the Walnut Praline

Cook the Praline

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it becomes a light caramel color. Add walnuts and butter, stirring until the walnuts are evenly coated. Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool. Once cooled, break into pieces.

Prepare the Blueberry Coulis

Cook the Coulis

In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes until the blueberries soften. Blend until smooth and strain if desired.

Prepare the Chantilly Cream

Whip the Cream

In a mixing bowl, add heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

Assemble the Dish

Plate the French Toast

Place slices of the blueberry French toast on a plate. Drizzle with blueberry coulis, top with walnut praline, and add a dollop of chantilly cream.
