Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 chamomile tea bags
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 large eggs
Kosher salt
8 thick (1-inch) slices brioche
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
2 cups fresh berries (any in season)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a small pot, combine the heavy cream and tea bags. Bring to a simmer, then take off the heat immediately. Let sit and cool, then remove the tea bags.
  • In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice and 1/3 cup of the honey and whisk. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the chamomile cream, milk, vanilla, eggs, remaining 1 tablespoon honey and a pinch of salt. Whisk until completely combined.
  • Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and let melt. Put 2 slices of bread into the cream mixture and let it soak through. Put the soaked bread in the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a baking sheet and hold in the oven. Add another tablespoon of butter to the pan, soak 2 more slices of bread in the cream mixture and cook. Repeat with the remaining butter, bread and cream mixture.
  • Top the French toast with a dollop of mascarpone, some fresh berries and a drizzle of the lemon honey.

I'm not a huge fan of chamomile, but I really enjoyed this French toast. The flavor is subtle and not overpowering.
