Creme Brulèe French Toast Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Custard

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Soak the Brioche

    Dip each slice of brioche into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Place the soaked slices on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    In a large skillet or griddle, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook the soaked brioche slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Blackberry Compote

    In a saucepan, combine blackberries, bourbon, and a bit of sugar. Heat over medium heat until the blackberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Candied Walnuts

    In a separate pan, toast walnuts over medium heat, then add brown sugar and stir until the sugar has melted and coats the walnuts. Remove from heat and let cool.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the French toast, drizzle with maple syrup, top with blackberry compote, sliced strawberries, and sprinkle candied walnuts on top. Enjoy!
