Provided by Averie Sunshine

Categories     Bread, Rolls, Muffins & Breakfast

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk (I prefer 2% or whole)
1 to 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1 pound French bread, diced in 1 to 1 1/2-inch cubes (I used day old)
caramel or salted caramel sauce, optional for serving
maple syrup, optional for serving

Steps:

  • Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray; set aside.
  • To a medium bowl, add the melted butter, brown sugar, and stir to combine. Mixture will have the consistency of wet sand. Scatter this mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan. You will not have complete coverage; set pan aside.
  • To a large bowl, add the eggs, and lightly beat to break the yolks and combine.
  • Add the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and whisk to combine.
  • Add the bread to the bowl and toss well, but lightly, with a spatula to evenly coat the bread in the egg-milk mixture.
  • Turn bread out into the prepared pan, cover pan, and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 12 hours overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350F and remove pan from the fridge while oven is preheating. Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the caramel sauce underneath is lightly bubbling and the top of the bread is slightly crusted over and lightly browned.
  • Immediately after you take the casserole dish out of the oven, place a very large serving platter over the casserole dish and invert it so the casserole 'plops' out onto the serving platter. Use caution since the casserole dish is hot and heavy.
  • Using a spatula, scrape any caramel sauce from the baking dish onto the French toast casserole.
  • Optionally, if desired, lightly drizzle extra caramel or salted caramel sauce over the top, and/or lightly drizzle maple syrup, and serve immediately.
  • Recipe is best warm and fresh.

SALTED CARAMEL CROISSANT FRENCH TOAST RECIPE BY TASTY



Salted Caramel Croissant French Toast Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: heavy cream, powdered sugar, McCormick® vanilla extract, granulated sugar, salted butter, heavy cream, kosher salt, McCormick® vanilla extract, whole milk, granulated sugar, large egg, kosher salt, McCormick® vanilla extract, all purpose flour, baking powder, nonstick cooking spray, croissants, pecan, powdered sugar

Provided by Ivan Diaz

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup heavy cream, cold
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
½ teaspoon McCormick® vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons salted butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
½ cup heavy cream, room temperature
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon McCormick® vanilla extract
1 ½ cups whole milk
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon McCormick® vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
6 croissants, halved
½ cup pecan, roughly chopped, for garnish
2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Make the vanilla whipped cream: In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and McCormick® Vanilla Extract. Using an electric hand mixer, whip on medium-high speed until thickened and medium peaks form, 3-4 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Make the salted caramel: Combine the granulated sugar and butter in a small pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, until the butter melts, 2-3 minutes. Once the butter has melted, continue to cook until golden, stirring occasionally. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and whisk until smooth.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the salt and McCormick® Vanilla Extract. Set aside until ready to serve (the caramel will thicken as it cools).
  • Make the French toast: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, egg, salt, and McCormick® Vanilla Extract until smooth. Whisk in the flour and baking powder until incorporated.
  • Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and grease with nonstick spray. Working in batches, dip the croissant halves in batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then arrange in a single layer in the skillet. Cook until golden brown, 3-5 minutes per side.
  • Top the bottom croissant halves with a scoop of whipped cream. Cover with the top croissant halves. Drizzle with salted caramel and garnish with the pecans and powdered sugar.
  • Enjoy!
