Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup butter
4 large eggs plus 4 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 Tablespoons Grand Marnier (optional)
8 slices brioche
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
2 cups strawberries, sliced, fresh or frozen, divided
1 Tablespoon water
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon Grand Marnier (optional)
1 cup heavy cream, very cold
2 Tablespoons confectioners's sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Melt a few Tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-heat.
  • In a large shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk the eggs and egg yolks until well combined. Add in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugars, and whisk until well combined. Finally, whisk in the milk, heavy cream, vanilla, and grand marnier.
  • Dip each slice of brioche into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well coated.
  • Place brioche slices into skillet and cook until the undersides are golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Flip, and continue cooking on the other side until equally golden brown, about another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Continue with all french toast, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
  • Serve warm, with strawberry sauce and whipped cream!
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Continue cooking until it smells slightly nutty and is a deep golden brown.
  • Stir in the sugar, orange juice, and half of the strawberries. Cook over a medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the strawberries have softened and the juice is slightly thickened.
  • In a small bowl combine the water and cornstarch, whisk until smooth. Then add it into the strawberry sauce.
  • Bring back to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes, or until thickened.
  • Add the rest of the strawberries and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the Grand Marnier, if using. Spoon over French toast.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, combine the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • Whip until stiff peaks form. Keep in the fridge until ready to use. Best used within 30 minutes!
  • Place French toast slices on a large serving platter, or divide among individual plates.
  • Top with a generous portion of strawberry sauce, then top with a dollop of whipped cream!
  • Serve at once!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

⅔ cup heavy cream (very cold)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon almond extract (may sub vanilla extract)
2 cups strawberries (sliced)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup granulated sugar
8 sliced brioche toast (or other thick-cut white bread)
2 large eggs
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon almond extract (may sub vanilla extract)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
extra butter (for cooking)

Steps:

  • In a medium, chilled glass bowl, combine heavy cream, sugar, and almond extract. Whip by hand or with an electric mixer (definitely the quicker method!) until stiff peaks form. Place in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Toss strawberries with the 1 tablespoon flour.
  • In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, combine butter, strawberries, and sugar. Once butter is melted reduce heat to low and simmer for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce darkens and thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  • In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, almond extract, and flour for 2-3 minutes until flour is incorporated.
  • Preheat a large, wide skillet (or griddle) over medium-low heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. While butter is melting, proceed with next step.
  • Dip a slice of bread in the egg mixture being sure to let it soak for a few seconds, then turn it over and repeat. Lift the bread and allow excess to drip off before transferring to preheated skillet.
  • Cook toast 3-4 minutes before turning over and cooking another 3-4 minutes until golden brown. You can cook multiple pieces of toast at the same time if you have room in the skillet, just be sure they aren't touching.
  • Repeat with remaining pieces of bread. Top with strawberry sauce and a big dollop of whipped cream and serve immediately.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
1 loaf day-old Italian bread
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
8 large eggs
2 cups milk
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon fresh lemon zest
¼ teaspoon almond extract
⅛ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease or spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Slice the bread into 16 slices using a sharp knife. Save the ends to use in another dish, or discard. Arrange the bread slices in the prepared baking pan. Tuck strawberry slices between and around the bread.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, cream, sugar, lemon zest, almond extract, and salt together until well combined.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the bread slices. Press down on the top of the bread to help the egg absorb; it's okay if a little is in the bottom of the pan. Let stand for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until the bread is firm when gently pressed and the top is crispy and golden, 45 to 55 minutes.

FRENCH TOAST WITH STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM



French Toast with Strawberries and Cream image

Provided by Claire Robinson

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups fresh strawberries, trimmed and sliced
2 tablespoons water
6 large eggs
2 cups cream, divided
Butter
8 (1-inch-thick) slices brioche (from day old loaf)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F, and warm an ovenproof serving platter in the oven.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of the berries with the water and bring to a simmer. Cook over medium heat until the berries are softened and set aside until ready to serve. Keep warm.
  • In a shallow bowl, large enough to soak a few slices of bread, whisk together eggs and 1 cup cream.
  • In a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat, melt a large pat of butter. Be sure to cover the cooking surface with the melted butter. Working in batches, dip however many slices of brioche that can be cooked on the griddle at a time, in the egg/cream mixture. Turn bread over and be sure to not let the bread get too soggy.
  • Transfer the bread to the preheated and buttered griddle and cook until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Place the cooked French toast on the warm serving platter in the oven and cover loosely with foil. These will keep warm in the oven while the remaining slices are prepared.
  • Whip the remaining 1 cup of cream, in a medium bowl, with a hand-held mixer, until soft peaks form. Serve the French toast topped with the warm strawberries, remaining sliced fresh strawberries and whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use thick, eggy bread for your French toast, such as brioche or challah. This will help it hold up to the custard and not get soggy.
  • Soak your bread in the custard for at least 5 minutes, but no longer than 10 minutes. This will allow the bread to absorb the custard and become rich and flavorful.
  • Cook your French toast over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Serve your French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Dessert French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special breakfast or brunch. With its sweet and savory flavors, it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a unique and decadent treat, give this recipe a try.
