Ingredients for Baba au Rhum French Toast
Method
Directions for Baba au Rhum French Toast
Prepare the Rum Raisin Mixture
In a small saucepan, combine the raisins and dark rum. Heat gently until the rum is warm and the raisins are plump. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Make the Custard
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Soak the Bread
Dip each slice of brioche bread in the custard mixture, allowing them to soak for a minute on each side.
Cook the French Toast
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook the soaked brioche slices until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Assemble the Dish
On a serving plate, stack the French toast, spoon the rum raisin mixture over the top, and add a dollop of whipped mascarpone. Serve immediately.
