Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk
¾ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, or extract
1 loaf challah bread
unsalted butter, or ghee, for greasing
softened butter
pure maple syrup, warmed
flaky sea salt
fresh berry

Steps:

  • Preheat a nonstick electric griddle to 300°F (150°C). (Alternatively, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.)
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Add the milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla bean paste and whisk until completely combined.
  • Working in batches, dip each slice of challah in the custard, letting soak for 20-60 seconds on each side, until fully saturated but not soggy.
  • Lightly grease the griddle with butter. Once melted, add the soaked challah on the griddle and cook, without disturbing, until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Use a flat spatula to flip the bread and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown, 2 minutes more. Wipe the pan clean between batches and add more butter as needed.
  • Serve the French toast with a pat of butter, a drizzle of warm maple syrup, a sprinkle of flaky salt, and berries.

PRALINE FRENCH TOAST BREAD PUDDING



Praline French Toast Bread Pudding image

Provided by Alan Rosen

Categories     Egg     Breakfast     Brunch     Dessert     Bake     Pecan     Chill     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

One 1-pound loaf challah (preferably the braided one) or brioche
8 extra-large eggs
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the Praline Topping
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoonsn maple syrup for drizzling

Steps:

  • 1. Generously butter a rectangular baking dish (13 x 9 x 2 1/2 inches); use the prettiest one you have. Set out a large shallow pan for the water bath. Cut the bread across into 3/4-inch-thick slices. If you are not using a braided bread, cut slices into four triangles each. Arrange bread slices in rows, leaning and overlapping them, if necessary.
  • 2. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the eggs on high until light golden and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Beat in the cream, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, salt, and nutmeg. Pour over the bread in the dish, lifting the bread up slightly to pour between the slices and letting the custard soak in (this is important; see The Junior's Way).
  • 3. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, combine all praline topping ingredients, except syrup. Using your hands, spread the mixture over the top of the soaked challah, pushing some down between the slices. Cover the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
  • 4. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the plastic wrap and drizzle the maple syrup over the top. Place the dish in the center of a larger pan. Pour hot water into the pan until it comes 1 inch up the side of the baking dish. Bake until the pudding is puffy, souffléd, and golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes (don't let it overbake or get too brown). Touch it: The top should be spongy, not dry or crusty. The bread pudding is best served piping hot, right out of the oven.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread for French toast: Stale bread will absorb the custard better and result in a more flavorful and sturdy French toast.
  • Make the praline topping the day before: This will give the pralines time to set and develop their full flavor.
  • Use a heavy skillet for cooking the French toast: A heavy skillet will help the French toast cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat: Cooking the French toast over medium heat will help it cook through without burning.
  • Serve the French toast immediately: French toast is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Overnight Praline French Toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. The praline topping adds a sweet and crunchy element to the dish, while the overnight soaking in the custard mixture ensures that the French toast is moist and flavorful. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends, and it is also a great way to use up stale bread.
