Categories     Breakfast

Time 4h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 loaf brioche bread, cut into 3 in slices
1 cup granulated sugar
8 cups heavy cream
2 vanilla beans, seeds scraped
6 large eggs, beaten
½ cup cream cheese, softened
½ cup ricotta cheese
½ cup strawberry, quartered
½ cup strawberry, quartered
½ lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
½ lemon
½ cup blueberry
¼ cup maple syrup
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup turbinado sugar
4 fresh mint leaves
kitchen torch

Steps:

  • Make the French toast: Using a paring knife, make a small slit in the side of each slice of bread, going almost to the other side, but not all the way through. Set aside.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla bean seeds and bring to a simmer. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warmed through, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs to a large bowl. Slowly a ladleful of the cream mixture and whisk to temper the eggs so they do not scramble. Remove the cream mixture from the heat and slowly stream the egg mixture into the pot, whisking to combine. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Arrange the sliced brioche in a 9 x 13-inch (19 x 27 cm) baking dish. Pour the cooled custard mixture over the bread. Let soak for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Transfer the soaked brioche to a clean 9 x 13-inch (19 x 27 cm) baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
  • While the toast bakes and cools, make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, and strawberries. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until fully combined and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Make the macerated strawberries: In a separate medium bowl, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, sugar, and lemon zest. Stir well, then set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
  • Make the chantilly cream: In a separate medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  • Pipe the ricotta and cream cheese mixture into the center of each slice of French toast, being careful not to overfill.
  • Top each slice of French toast with a generous sprinkle of turbinado sugar. Brûlée the sugar with a kitchen torch until melted and golden brown.
  • Add the blueberries and maple syrup to the macerated strawberries and stir to combine.
  • Garnish each slice of brûléed French toast with a spoonful of the berry mixture, a dollop of chantilly cream, and a mint leaf. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

STUFFED FRENCH TOAST



Stuffed French Toast image

Level-up your french toast game with this velvety, rich, cream cheese filled French toast.

Provided by Kristin Stangl

Categories     Brunch     Breakfast

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 1-inch slices Brioche or Challah bread, preferably day-old
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk, divided
3 tablespoons sugar, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla extra, divided
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs
½ teaspoon cinnamon or cardamom (optional)
1 tablespoons butter, for the pan
Optional Garnishes: fresh berries or peaches, powdered sugar, maple syrup, additional butter

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Create a cavity for the filling in each piece of bread by laying one bread slice down on the cutting board and, using a butter knife or a paring knife, cut a horizontal slit into the bottom of the slice to create a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the top (and out the other side). Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
  • In a medium bowl, stir or whisk together the softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Taste and add more sugar if desired.
  • Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a zip-close bag with the corner snipped or a reusable piping bag. Insert the tip of the bag into one of the slits in a slice of bread. Fill the bread with the cream cheese mixture the way you would fill a donut. Use a butter knife or small offset spatula to evenly distribute cream cheese inside and clean off the edge, as needed. Eyeball so that there is enough for each of the slices; repeat with remaining slices. Set aside.
  • Break the eggs into a wide, shallow bowl or pie plate and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk. Whisk in the remaining milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Add the cinnamon or cardamom, if using, into the custard.
  • Coat a non-stick skillet or griddle with a thin layer of some of the butter. Place it over medium-low heat until the butter begins to foam and sizzle.
  • Place the bread slices, one at a time, into the bowl or plate. Let the bread soak up the egg mixture for a few seconds and then carefully turn to coat the other side. Place soaked bread slices directly into the waiting pan. (Depending on the size of the pan and your slices, you may have to work in batches, so coat only as many slices as you will be cooking at a time to prevent soggy French toast.)
  • Heat custard-dipped slices in the pan slowly until the bottom is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and brown the other side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  • Transfer finished slices to a plate; repeat with remaining slices of French toast, adding more butter to the pan as needed, until all slices are cooked. Serve with toppings of your choice.

STUFFED FRENCH TOAST (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)



Stuffed French Toast (Cook's Illustrated) image

I haven't tried it yet, but I trust these folks completely. It's from The America's Test Kitchen Cookbook. They said NOT to use lowfat or skim milk. I guess it's the least we can do for their not asking for half-and-half for dipping. Obviously, it's good served with maple syrup, but they also suggest serving with just a pat of butter and a sprinkle of confectioner's sugar. (Yeah....pass that syrup.) This recipe differs from other recipes in that it has a pure cream cheese filling with no fruits or chocolate added in. Might be best for picky eaters.

Provided by Debbie R.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
8 slices high-quality white bread (like Pepperidge Farm)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup whole milk
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup flour

Steps:

  • Microwave the cream cheese (in a large bowl) on high just until softened, 5 to 10 seconds. Check it. You'd be surprised how microwave ovens vary.
  • Stir in 2 tablespoons of the sugar and all of the cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir till smooth. Wrap tightly and chill for about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to the middle position. Heat oven to 200 degrees. Arrange the bread on a rack set over a rimmed baking sleet. Bake it until slightly dry, about 15 minutes. (I would say "or stale bread", but if you're familiar with their exhaustive testing approach, it's best to just trust them and do this step.).
  • Spread the cream cheese evenly over 4 pieces of bread. Leave a 1/2-inch at the edges. ( If you do not leave the border clear, it will just come out while cooking and be wasted.) Lightly press the rest of the slices over the top to make 4 sturdy sandwiches.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk it with the milk, egg, vanilla, salt and the remaining 2 T. of sugar. Slowly whisk in the flour until smooth. Pour the batter into a large shallow dish.
  • Slide 2 sandwiches into the batter and soak both sides, about 1 minute per side. Meanwhile, melt 1 more T. of the butter in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat until it begins to brown, swirling to coat the pan.
  • Remove the bread from the batter. Let excess batter drip back in the dish. Lay two sandwiches in the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2.5 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the other two sandwiches.

BLACKBERRY-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST



Blackberry-Stuffed French Toast image

Whenever you have a little extra time to simmer berries into a simple compote, do - then try stuffing it into hearty French toasts and dusting them with confectioners' sugar. They'll almost remind you of a jelly doughnut, even more so if you use brioche hamburger buns as your bread of choice. (But regular white sandwich bread, challah or any other enriched bread works, too.) You can adjust the sugar in the berries, depending on how sweet they are, and, if you prefer a smoother compote, press the cooked fruit through a mesh sieve once cooled to remove any seeds.

Categories     breakfast, breads, main course

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pint/285 grams fresh or frozen blackberries, raspberries or blueberries (about 2 heaping cups)
1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons/100 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Kosher salt
3 large eggs
1/4 cup/60 milliliters whole milk
1 to 2 tablespoons dark rum, bourbon or brandy
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
8 slices brioche or white sandwich bread (each about 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick)
Unsalted butter, for frying
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Place the berries, 1/3 cup/70 grams granulated sugar, the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Roughly crush the berries with the back of a fork to help release some of their juices.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a lid and cook at a strong simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the berries never stick to the bottom and burn, until the sauce has thickened and reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool and thicken for another 10 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk to combine the eggs, milk, rum, vanilla, a pinch of salt and the remaining 3 tablespoons/30 grams granulated sugar; set aside.
  • Lay 4 pieces of bread out on a plate or tray, and divide the cooled fruit across the bread (about 2 to 3 tablespoons each), leaving roughly 3/4-inch of space around the edges of the bread. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread, and press down lightly to adhere.
  • Heat a large frying pan or griddle over medium-high and melt enough butter to coat the bottom. Just as the butter begins to bubble, float a sandwich on top of the egg batter for 3 seconds, then flip to soak the other side for 3 more seconds. Hold the sandwich over the bowl for 10 seconds to allow any excess batter to drip off, then transfer it to the hot pan. Repeat with as many sandwiches as will fit in your pan; you may need to do this in batches. Cook until deep golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side, adding butter to the pan as needed. Transfer to plates and dust generously with confectioners' sugar.

Tips:

  • Bread selection: Choose a thick, sturdy bread for French toast, such as a French baguette or brioche. The bread should be able to hold up to the filling and not get soggy.
  • Softening the bread: If the bread is not fresh, toast it lightly before assembling the French toast. This will help prevent the bread from becoming too soggy.
  • Filling options: There are endless possibilities for fillings, so get creative! Sweet fillings like fruit, Nutella, or cinnamon sugar are always popular. Savory fillings like cheese, ham, or vegetables are also delicious.
  • Cooking the French toast: Cook the French toast over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Be patient and don't rush the process, or the center of the French toast will not cook through.
  • Serving suggestions: Serve stuffed French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit. You can also dust it with powdered sugar or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Stuffed French toast is a delicious and versatile breakfast or brunch dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
