FRENCH TOAST WITH SALTED CARAMEL AND CREME FRAICHE



French Toast with Salted Caramel and Creme Fraiche image

Provided by Food Network

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Caramel
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup unsalted butter
Pinch fleur de sel
French toast
4 eggs
1/3 cup whole milk
1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise and seeds scraped
Big pinch brown sugar
Pinch sea salt
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, for frying
6 slices challah bread, sliced about 1-inch thick
1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream

Steps:

  • To make the caramel: Using a food processor, pulverize the granulated sugar into fine powder or dust. In a pot, heat the water over medium heat. As the water begins to slowly heat, carefully pour the pulverized sugar into the center of the pot, creating a mound. Do not touch or mix the sugar into the water, let it dissolve on its own. Once the sugar-water begins to boil, keep a close eye on it: in a few minutes the water will boil away and then the sugar will begin to boil. Watch closely, the second the molten sugar begins to turn a light brown or caramel color, take it off the heat and add the whipping cream and butter. Cook's Note: Careful, it will spatter. Whisk the mixture until smooth. Add a big pinch of fleur de sel and whisk to incorporate.
  • To make the French toast: In a big bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla bean, sugar, and sea salt. Beat these ingredients together. In a frying pan, heat the unsalted butter over medium heat. Dip the bread slices in the egg mixture, turning the bread to coat evenly. Allow the excess egg mixture to drip back into the bowl and add the bread to the hot butter. Fry the bread for about 1 minute per side, or until golden. Turn the heat down to medium low and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Repeat as necessary.
  • Serve the French toast in stacks slathered with caramel and topped with a dollop of creme fraiche.

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!

Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Breakfast

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cup Original Bisquick™ mix
3/4 cup milk
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10 slices (1 inch thick) French bread
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
Fresh berries, banana slices, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • In medium bowl, beat eggs, Bisquick™ mix, milk and cinnamon with whisk until blended. Place slices of bread, cut side down, single layer, in 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish. Pour egg mixture over slices. Let stand 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in 10-inch ovenproof skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat until melted; remove from heat. Stir in brown sugar until well blended. Turn each slice over, and place cut side down in bottom of skillet; fit slices tightly together, tearing to fit empty spots between slices. Discard remaining egg mixture.
  • Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until edges are bubbly and top of toast is golden brown. Cool skillet on cooling rack 5 minutes. Run metal spatula around edges to loosen.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality bread: Stale or old bread will not absorb the custard mixture as well and will result in a less flavorful French toast. Look for a fresh, fluffy loaf of bread that is at least one day old.
  • Make the custard mixture ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and will also make the assembly process easier. You can make the custard mixture up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Use a shallow baking dish: This will ensure that the French toast cooks evenly. A 9x13 inch baking dish is a good size.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Leave some space between the slices of bread so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the French toast until it is golden brown: This will take about 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the French toast so that it does not overcook.

Conclusion:

Crème caramel French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. With its rich custard flavor and caramelized sugar topping, this dish is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a special breakfast or brunch recipe, give crème caramel French toast a try. You won't be disappointed!
