BAKED FRENCH TOAST WITH PRALINE TOPPING



Baked French Toast With Praline Topping image

This is a wonderful, make-ahead recipe to serve at a brunch. It really takes no time at all, but it tastes incredible! I used this for our Mother's Day Brunch this year, and it was very well received. I happened to use 1% milk (which I had on hand!) and heavy cream in place of the half and half. In order to save some time, I almost left off the praline topping, but I am so glad I took the time to make it. The nice, sweet crunch of the buttery nuts complimented the dish really well. This is great served with warm maple syrup.

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 loaf bread (1 lb, Challah or Portuguese Sweet Bread work well)
8 large eggs

1 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Slice the loaf of bread into 1" thick slices.

  • I cut some of the slices into triangles to be sure they fit into all the corners.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs, half and half, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt until well blended, but not too frothy.
  • Gently pour the mixture over the bread slices.
  • Be sure all the slices are covered evenly, especially the ones on top!
  • Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next morning, preheat oven to 350.
  • Combine ingredients for praline topping, and spread evenly over the bread mixture.
  • Bake uncovered in oven for about 40 minutes, or until puffed, and lightly golden on top.
  • (a few more minutes if you like it a little crispier on top!) Cut into squares and serve with warm maple syrup.

FRENCH TOAST



French Toast image

Crackling around the edges and crisp on the outsides with pudding-soft centers, these thin slices of French toast taste like bread pudding, and feel especially like dessert if you smother them with maple syrup, jam or other sweet toppings. The key is to fully soak the bread, then cook the slices gently, so the insides cook through without the outsides burning. If the bread starts to brown too quickly, turn down the heat. You can double, triple or quadruple the amounts below to make enough for friends. Serve them in batches straight from the pan, or keep warm in a 200-degree oven on a plate or baking sheet.

Provided by Genevieve Ko

Categories     breakfast

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
Salt
2 slices sandwich bread
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for serving
Maple syrup, jam or other toppings, for serving

Steps:

  • In a bowl or shallow dish that will fit the bread, beat the egg, milk and a pinch of salt with a fork until very smooth and bubbly on top.
  • Add both bread slices (it's OK to stack them if they don't quite fit) and soak them, turning a few times, until the mixture is fully absorbed.
  • Set a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and swirl it around the pan until it melts. The soaked bread will be really soft, so carefully pick up each slice by sliding your whole hand under it, then setting it in the pan. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the slices, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the other sides are brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Enjoy hot, with more butter spread over the slices and with your favorite toppings.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread. A sturdy bread like French bread or sourdough will hold up best to the custard and baking process.
  • Make sure the custard is thick enough. The custard should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, it will make the French toast soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When baking the French toast, don't crowd the slices in the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Bake until golden brown. The French toast is done baking when it's golden brown on both sides.
  • Serve immediately. French toast is best served immediately, while it's still warm and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Baked French toast with praline topping is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your French toast turns out perfect every time. Serve this delightful dish with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or syrup, and enjoy a satisfying and memorable meal.
