FRENCH TOAST AMANDINE



French Toast Amandine image

My children came up with this recipe on the morning after we worked together on a dinner of weakfish amandine, the fillets sautéed in brown butter and scattered with almonds. They asked: "Couldn't we do something similar with French toast? And make it, like, sweet?" We certainly could, and we did: a simple breakfast fry-up made elegant and well groomed. Fry the slices up in good butter, and serve them with maple syrup or a slash of jam. Pile everything in the sink afterward and boogie; you can clean up later. Breakfast in America.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large eggs
½ cup whole milk, cream or half and half
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 loaf thick-sliced brioche, challah or country bread
1 cup sliced almonds
4 to 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, ideally clarified or high-fat.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200. Whisk together eggs, milk (or cream or half and half), sugar, salt and vanilla extract.
  • Lay bread in a baking pan, and pour egg mixture over top. Let sit 3 minutes, then turn slices over, making sure egg mixture has covered slices, with no dry spots
  • Spread sliced almonds on a baking sheet, and put soaked bread slices on top. Press to adhere, then turn and repeat on other side; sprinkle with almond slices as needed. One side will be more crusted; cook that side first (and serve facing up).
  • Put some of the butter into a skillet placed over medium-high heat; when it's hot, add bread slices in batches, cooking until they're golden brown and crisp, a few minutes per side. Transfer finished toasts to a platter, and place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining butter and bread.
  • Serve finished toasts with fruit compote, maple syrup or (and!) a dusting of confectioners' sugar.

Time 9h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Unsalted butter for greasing pan, at room temperature
1 loaf day-old brioche (about 1 pound)
6 large eggs
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
4 ripe-but-firm bananas, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • For the casserole: Trim the ends from 1 loaf day-old brioche (about 1 pound) and cut into ten 1-inch thick slices. Cut each slice in half diagonally to make two triangles from each piece. (If the bread is fresh, dry it out a bit. Place the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees F for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.)
  • Whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until well blended. Dip each triangle of bread in the custard, lightly coating each side. Shingle the pieces in the prepared pan, overlapping slightly.
  • Pour any remaining custard over the bread slices. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let rest 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature before baking. Remove the plastic wrap and bake until the casserole is golden and puffed and the custard is set, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • For the topping: bring the butter, sugar and syrup to a boil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter is melted and the mixture is begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla, a pinch of salt, and the walnuts, stirring to coat. Turn off the heat and add the sliced bananas, stirring to coat evenly. Spoon the desired amount of the banana-syrup mixture over the casserole and serve any additional on the side.
