Babka French Toast

4 slices Cinnamon Babka

2 large Eggs

1 cup Milk

1 tsp Watkins vanilla extract

1 tsp Ground cinnamon

2 tbs Butter

Turkish Coffee Mascarpone

1 cup Mascarpone Cheese

2 tbs Turkish Coffee (brewed)

2 tbs Powdered Sugar

1 tsp Watkins vanilla extract

Apple Raisin Compote

2 cups Apples (peeled and diced)

1 tbs Brown sugar

1 tsp Ground cinnamon

1 cup Raisins

1 cup Water

1/2 cup Pistachios (chopped)

Method

Babka French Toast

Prepare the Egg Mixture

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

Soak the Babka

Dip each slice of cinnamon babka in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.

Cook the French Toast

In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Cook the soaked babka slices for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Turkish Coffee Mascarpone

Mix the Mascarpone

In a bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, brewed Turkish coffee, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Apple Raisin Compote

Cook the Compote

In a saucepan, combine diced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, raisins, and water. Cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender.

Assembly

Plate the Dish

On a plate, stack the French toast slices, top with apple raisin compote, a dollop of Turkish coffee mascarpone, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
