Categories     main-dish

Time 9h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing
3/4 cup maple syrup, plus more for serving
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
One 12-ounce package Hawaiian slider rolls
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 pint fresh blueberries
3/4 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs
Kosher salt
4 pieces cooked bacon, finely chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with butter.
  • Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whip on medium speed for 1 minute. With the mixer running, slowly pour in the maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla bean paste and whip until completely combined. Transfer to a serving bowl and reserve.
  • Keep the rolls intact and slice across the equator to create 1 large top and 1 large bottom roll. Place the bottom roll in the baking dish, then spread with 2 tablespoons of the maple butter. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and half of the blueberries and top with the top roll.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, sugar, eggs, remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste and a pinch of salt. Pour the mixture over the rolls. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the foil, then continue to bake until golden brown, about 10 more minutes.
  • Arrange scoops of the maple butter on top and sprinkle with the bacon and remaining blueberries. Serve with additional maple syrup.

STUFFED FRENCH TOAST WITH FRESH STRAWBERRY JAM AND BLUEBERRIES



Stuffed French Toast with Fresh Strawberry Jam and Blueberries image

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 loaf braided challah bread, cut into 6 (1 1/2-inch thick) slices
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup Strawberry Jam, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup fresh blueberries, plus more for garnish
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, plus 2 tablespoons not melted
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Maple syrup, for serving
3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 1 pound)
1 cup sugar
1 medium lemon, juiced (about 2 to 3 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Using a paring knife, cut through the bottom crust of each slice of bread horizontally, to create a pocket that your fruit filling can be stuffed into.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Strawberry Jam and lemon zest. Fold in the blueberries. Place the mixture into a re-sealable bag. When you are ready to stuff the bread you will snip off a corner of the bag and pipe the filling in.
  • In a baking dish, whisk together the milk, 1 tablespoon melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and eggs.
  • In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet melt the 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
  • Using the re-sealable bag as a pastry bag, stuff each slice of bread with about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture. Once the slices are stuffed, place each slice into the milk and egg mixture for about 10 seconds per side. Once the slices are coated with the custard base, place them into the skillet to brown. Work in batches. Cook each slice of stuffed French toast until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. If cooking a large batch, transfer the cooked French toast to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 200 degree F oven while you cook the rest of the slices. Repeat the process with the remaining French toast. Serve warm, topped with extra berries, powdered sugar and maple syrup.
  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir often until the fruit thickens and becomes syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Fill a large bowl with ice and a little water. Have a smaller mixing bowl that can sit within the larger bowl of ice. Once the fruit has cooked, add it to the smaller bowl and set it in the ice bath to cool. As the fruit cools it should become gel-like. Once the jam has cooled it can be stored.

2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
10 slices (1/2 inch thick) challah

8 eggs
2 cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Lightly butter 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) baking dish.
  • In medium bowl, beat cream cheese, 3 tablespoons of the sugar, and 1 tablespoon of the lemon peel with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Generously spread mixture over 5 slices of the challah. Press a few blueberries onto cream cheese; place another slice challah on top of each to make cream cheese and blueberry sandwiches. Place 4 of the sandwiches in baking dish. Cut remaining sandwich into pieces to fill in any gaps between the ones already in the dish.
  • In large bowl, beat eggs, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, remaining 1 tablespoon lemon peel, the milk and cream with whisk. Pour mixture over challah in casserole; top with remaining blueberries. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 12 hours.

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM STUFFED FRENCH TOAST



Strawberries and Cream Stuffed French Toast image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

6 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons strawberry jam
Kosher salt
Four 1-inch-thick slices Orange Juice Challah, recipe follows
2 extra-large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Sweetened condensed milk, for serving
Fresh sliced strawberries, for serving
6 cups (780g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup (50g) sugar
2 1/4 teaspoon (1 packet) instant yeast
Zest of 1 orange
1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (236ml) warm water
1/2 cup (118ml) orange juice, from about 2 oranges
2/3 cup (132g) flavorless oil, such as canola or vegetable oil
3 large eggs
Poppy seeds, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cream cheese and beat until smooth. Add the jam and a pinch of salt and continue to beat until thoroughly combined. Using a paring knife, make a slit in each bread slice about 2 to 3 inches long and deep; this pocket will hold the filling. Using an offset spatula, divide and stuff the filling equally into the pockets, making sure it's not a big lump. Set aside.
  • In a shallow dish, add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix with a fork until combined. Dip the challah into the mixture, turning to coat both sides. Let sit and soak while you heat your butter.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, add the butter and heat over medium heat until it begins to foam. Add the challah, allowing any excess egg mixture to drip off, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, flipping once, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Place the French toast on a serving dish. Serve with a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk and garnished with strawberries.
  • In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, orange zest and salt and whisk together. In a medium bowl, whisk together the water, orange juice, oil and 2 of the eggs.
  • Add the wet to the flour mixture; stir to combine. Knead, either by hand on a floured surface or with a dough hook on medium speed for 7 to 10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary (but resist any urge to add too much!), until you have a smooth and slightly sticky dough.
  • Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until doubled in size, about 2 hours. (Alternatively, chill the dough in the refrigerator overnight, then let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before shaping.)
  • Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Divide each into 3 logs and braid. Place on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly apart. Cover loosely and let rise 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining egg and 1 tablespoon water. Brush the loaves with egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake until they are golden and have an internal temperature of 190 degrees F; begin checking for doneness at 18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly and enjoy. (Challah is best eaten within 24 hours. After that it's ok if you toast it or use it for French toast. It also freezes well!)

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 loaf braided challah, cut into 6 slices (1 1/2-inch thick)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup strawberry jam, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup fresh blueberries, plus more for garnish
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted, plus 2 tablespoons not melted
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
powdered sugar, for dusting
maple syrup, for serving
3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 1 pound)
1 cup sugar
1 medium lemon, juiced (about 2 to 3 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Using a paring knife, cut through the bottom crust of each slice of bread horizontally, to create a pocket that your fruit filling can be stuffed into.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Strawberry Jam and lemon zest. Fold in the blueberries. Place the mixture into a re-sealable bag. When you are ready to stuff the bread you will snip off a corner of the bag and pipe the filling inches.
  • In a baking dish, whisk together the milk, 1 tablespoon melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and eggs.
  • In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet melt the 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
  • Using the re-sealable bag as a pastry bag, stuff each slice of bread with about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture. Once the slices are stuffed, place each slice into the milk and egg mixture for about 10 seconds per side. Once the slices are coated with the custard base, place them into the skillet to brown. Work in batches. Cook each slice of stuffed French toast until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. If cooking a large batch, transfer the cooked French toast to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 200 degree F oven while you cook the rest of the slices. Repeat the process with the remaining French toast. Serve warm, topped with extra berries, powdered sugar and maple syrup.
  • Strawberry Jam:.
  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir often until the fruit thickens and becomes syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Fill a large bowl with ice and a little water. Have a smaller mixing bowl that can sit within the larger bowl of ice. Once the fruit has cooked, add it to the smaller bowl and set it in the ice bath to cool. As the fruit cools it should become gel-like. Once the jam has cooled it can be stored.

BLUEBERRY STUFFED FRENCH TOAST



Blueberry Stuffed French Toast image

From the Hennessey House Bed & Breakfast, Napa, California. This is very rich but so good. Time does not include overnight time in the refrigerator. Use a good quality syrup from the NE.

Provided by lazyme

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/3 cup maple syrup
8 ounces cream cheese, 1-inch cubes
1 loaf sourdough bread, sliced
0.5 (16 ounce) package frozen blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
0.5 (16 ounce) package frozen blueberries
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Grease the bottom of one pyrex dish (9x13).
  • Cut off the crust of each piece of bread, approximately 18 slices. Spray your dish with Pam cooking spray, and layer the bottom of the dish with half of the bread.
  • Cut your cream cheese into one-inch squares and sprinkle over the entire layer of French bread. Take half of the bag of berries and sprinkle over the cream cheese.
  • Add your second layer of bread on top of your cream cheese and berries.
  • Mix the eggs, milk and syrup together in a mixer or with a hand mixer in a large bowl and pour over the top layer of bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight until ready to bake.
  • Bake covered with foil (spray foil with Pam to keep toast from sticking) for about one hour or more in a 375ºF oven. Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes until lightly browned and the top of the bread in the center feels slightly dry.
  • Blueberry Sauce:.
  • Mix sugar and water together. Bring to a slow boil for 10 minutes. Add the berries and reduce heat when mixture returns to a boil. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Just before serving, thicken with a lump-free mixture of cornstarch and a small amount of water. Stir constantly until thickened to desired consistency. The cornstarch reacts to boiling water, add your mixture at the boiling point. Sauce is done when it coats the back of a spoon! This can be done the night before and stored in the refrigerator.

  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk in the egg mixture.

  • Serve the french toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
