This French Toast is AMAZING. Soaked overnight in a Creme Brulee sauce and cooked with honey and maple syrup it is a decadent dream come true!
Ingredients
- 6 eggs yolks shopping list
- 2 ½ cups heavy cream shopping list
- ½ Tbsp brown sugar shopping list
- ½ vanilla bean, split or 1 Tsp vanilla extract shopping list
- 8 thick slices French bread or other crusty white bread shopping list
- ¼ cup butter (1/2 stick) shopping list
- ¼ cup brown sugar shopping list
- ¼ cup honey shopping list
- ¼ cup maple syrup shopping list
- ¼ cup toasted almond slivers shopping list
- 1 pt fresh raspberries, washed shopping list
How to make it
- Cut the vanilla bean open lengthwise and scrape the beans out (reserve).
- In a saucepan, add the cream, vanilla bean and vanilla pod. Scald the mixture over medium-high heat.
- Combine the eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract (if not using a vanilla bean) in a medium bowl.
- Slowly temper the eggs by adding a bit of the hot cream mixture into the eggs and whisk to incorporate. It is very important to add the mixture slowly as to not cook the eggs. Continue adding the cream until the egg mixture is about the temperature as the cream mixture. Add the remaining cream mixture. If you’ve scrambled some of the eggs, strain the mixture.
- Pour half the mixture into a baking dish or a ziplock bag. Place the bread in the pan (bag) and top with other half of egg mixture. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
- Melt the butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and stir in the brown sugar, honey and maple syrup. Add the soaked bread slices. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 to 35 minutes until puffed and brown. Serve immediately with fresh raspberries and toasted almond slivers.
- For that extra something on your toast, make a batch of honey butter. It keeps up to 4 weeks and is simple to make. Just combine 1 stick butter, 2/3 cup honey, and 1/3 cup light brown sugar with an electric mixer or food processor. Store in a crock and chill until firm.

I used this recipe this past week and it was so good. I used my stuffed French toast recipe instead of the bread indicated and it was very good. YUMMMMM

This sounds delicious. I am now thinking of how I can incorporate the Creme Brulee into the stuffed French Toast recipe that I have. That would make a breakfast meal a 1,000 calorie meal! LOL Oh, but it would taste sooo good.
