4 large eggs plus 4 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 Tablespoons Grand Marnier (optional)
8 slices brioche
3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice

1 Tablespoon water
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon Grand Marnier (optional)
1 cup heavy cream, very cold
2 Tablespoons confectioners's sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Melt a few Tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-heat.

  • Dip each slice of brioche into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well coated.

  • In a small bowl combine the water and cornstarch, whisk until smooth. Then add it into the strawberry sauce.
  • Bring back to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes, or until thickened.
  • Add the rest of the strawberries and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the Grand Marnier, if using. Spoon over French toast.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, combine the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • Whip until stiff peaks form. Keep in the fridge until ready to use. Best used within 30 minutes!
  • Place French toast slices on a large serving platter, or divide among individual plates.

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM FRENCH TOAST



Strawberries and Cream French Toast image

Strawberries and Cream French Toast is the perfect way to spruce up a boring breakfast routine. Start with egg-dipped, brioche bread that's cooked until golden, add tart-sweet strawberry sauce, and top with a soft pillow of almond-flavored cream.

Provided by Tiffany

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

⅔ cup heavy cream (very cold)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon almond extract (may sub vanilla extract)
2 cups strawberries (sliced)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons butter
⅓ cup granulated sugar
8 sliced brioche toast (or other thick-cut white bread)
2 large eggs
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon almond extract (may sub vanilla extract)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
extra butter (for cooking)

Steps:

  • In a medium, chilled glass bowl, combine heavy cream, sugar, and almond extract. Whip by hand or with an electric mixer (definitely the quicker method!) until stiff peaks form. Place in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Toss strawberries with the 1 tablespoon flour.
  • In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, combine butter, strawberries, and sugar. Once butter is melted reduce heat to low and simmer for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce darkens and thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  • In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, almond extract, and flour for 2-3 minutes until flour is incorporated.
  • Preheat a large, wide skillet (or griddle) over medium-low heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. While butter is melting, proceed with next step.
  • Dip a slice of bread in the egg mixture being sure to let it soak for a few seconds, then turn it over and repeat. Lift the bread and allow excess to drip off before transferring to preheated skillet.
  • Cook toast 3-4 minutes before turning over and cooking another 3-4 minutes until golden brown. You can cook multiple pieces of toast at the same time if you have room in the skillet, just be sure they aren't touching.
  • Repeat with remaining pieces of bread. Top with strawberry sauce and a big dollop of whipped cream and serve immediately.

French Toast with Strawberries and Cream image

Provided by Claire Robinson

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups fresh strawberries, trimmed and sliced
2 tablespoons water
6 large eggs
2 cups cream, divided
Butter
8 (1-inch-thick) slices brioche (from day old loaf)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F, and warm an ovenproof serving platter in the oven.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of the berries with the water and bring to a simmer. Cook over medium heat until the berries are softened and set aside until ready to serve. Keep warm.
  • In a shallow bowl, large enough to soak a few slices of bread, whisk together eggs and 1 cup cream.
  • In a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat, melt a large pat of butter. Be sure to cover the cooking surface with the melted butter. Working in batches, dip however many slices of brioche that can be cooked on the griddle at a time, in the egg/cream mixture. Turn bread over and be sure to not let the bread get too soggy.
  • Transfer the bread to the preheated and buttered griddle and cook until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Place the cooked French toast on the warm serving platter in the oven and cover loosely with foil. These will keep warm in the oven while the remaining slices are prepared.
  • Whip the remaining 1 cup of cream, in a medium bowl, with a hand-held mixer, until soft peaks form. Serve the French toast topped with the warm strawberries, remaining sliced fresh strawberries and whipped cream.

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 loaf Italian bread
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup butter substitute
1/4 cup reduced-fat cream cheese
1/4 cup strawberry all-fruit spread or 1/4 cup preserves
3 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

Tips:

  • Use stale or day-old bread for the best French toast. This will help the bread soak up the egg mixture and cook evenly.
  • Whisk the egg mixture thoroughly to ensure that the eggs are evenly distributed and there are no lumps.
  • If you want a thicker French toast, use more bread slices. For a thinner French toast, use fewer bread slices.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat to prevent it from burning. You should see bubbles forming around the edges of the bread before you flip it.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, powdered sugar, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

French toast is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover bread and can be customized with a variety of toppings to suit your taste. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious French toast that will be enjoyed by everyone.
