2 large eggs
1 cup milk, of choice
2 tablespoons maple syrup, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat Griddler, fitted with the griddle plates, to 375°F (190°C), and grease with nonstick spray.

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.

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.
