CRèME BRûLéE FRENCH TOAST



Crème Brûlée French Toast image

With a crackling, caramelized brown sugar topping, these custardy slices of French toast resemble crème brûlée. Start them soaking the night before, then pop them in the oven in the morning for one of the most decadent brunches imaginable. Even better, you can bake a pan of bacon at the same time. Just keep your eye on it; depending upon its thickness, the bacon might be done a few minutes sooner than the French toast. Then serve the French toast with more of the pan syrup spooned on top. But skip the maple syrup, which would be overkill.

Categories     brunch, main course

Time 4h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 large eggs plus 2 yolks (or 6 whole eggs)
2 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream (or use more milk)
3 tablespoons dark rum or orange juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 loaf challah bread, sliced 1 inch thick, preferably stale (about 1 pound)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, rum, vanilla, nutmeg and salt. Spread bread out in 1 layer on a large rimmed baking sheet (about 11 by 17 inches). Pour custard over bread, cover with plastic wrap, and let soak in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. Flip bread slices over once while they soak. This can be halfway through the soaking, or about an hour before baking, whichever is more convenient.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar and butter. Pour mixture onto another large rimmed baking sheet, using a spatula if necessary to spread into an even layer.
  • Transfer soaked bread to sugared baking sheet, placing slices on top of the brown sugar mixture. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and sugar is bubbling.
  • Serve immediately while still hot, with the crunchy brown sugar side up, spooning more of pan syrup over the top.

CREME BRULEE FRENCH TOAST



Creme Brulee French Toast image

You won't believe how easy it is to give French toast a crackly, crunchy caramelized sugar coating. This breakfast or brunch recipe works best with day-old bread. If using fresh bread, reduce the soaking time by half.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
1 vanilla bean, split, and seeds scraped out, or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Coarse salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 loaf challah bread (about 8 ounces), sliced into 1-inch-thick pieces
2 tablespoons butter
Fresh fruit, such as peaches, and creme fraiche, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  • In a large shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla and a large pinch of salt. Add 4 slices of bread in a single layer and let soak 1 minute. Flip bread and sprinkle each evenly with 2 to 3 teaspoons of granulated sugar, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lift bread from egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Add to pan, sugar side down. Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle each slice with 2 to 3 teaspoons granulated sugar, pressing gently to adhere. Cook until a crust forms on the bottom and the toast is golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook until a golden crust forms on the second side, 4 to 5 minutes more. Reduce heat if browning too quickly. Keep warm in oven while cooking remaining batches. Wipe skillet clean and repeat with remaining butter and bread. Serve warm with fresh fruit and a dollop of creme fraiche.

CREME BRULEE OVERNIGHT FRENCH TOAST



Creme Brulee Overnight French Toast image

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 loaves Jimmy Johns Day Old French Bread Loaf
5 Eggs
1 1/2 cups Half & Half
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 teaspoon Orange Liqueur such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau
1/2 cup Butter - unsalted
1 cup Brown Sugar - packed
2 tablespoons Corn Syrup
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cups Powdered Sugar - for garnish

Steps:

  • Cut the french bread so that it will sit 2" high in a 9" x 13" baking dish and set aside
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs so that the yolks are broken up. Add in half and half cream, vanilla, orange liqueur, and salt, then stir until fully combined. Set bowl aside.
  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and corn syrup, stirring until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes.
  • Arrange cut french bread in baking dish on top of the caramel. Bread should be tightly packed with minimal space in between.
  • Pour egg mixture over bread, saturating each piece as much as much as possible.
  • Cover baking dish and place in the refrigerator over night (ideally for at least 8 hours).
  • Set oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until bread is puffy and the top is golden brown.
  • Wait 5 minutes before serving. Add powdered sugar as desired (optional).

Tips:

  • Use day-old bread for the best results. Stale bread will soak up the custard better and result in a more flavorful French toast.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can caramelize the sugar on the top of the French toast under the broiler. Just keep a close eye on it so that it doesn't burn.
  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk in the custard.
  • Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the custard for extra flavor.
  • Serve the French toast immediately after it is cooked, while the custard is still warm and gooey.

Conclusion:

Crème brûlée French toast is a delicious and decadent breakfast treat that is sure to impress your friends and family. It is a relatively easy dish to make, and it can be tailored to your own personal preferences. Whether you like your French toast simple or topped with fruit, whipped cream, or syrup, crème brûlée French toast is sure to hit the spot.
