Time 35m

Yield 35 to 40 small slices

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream or whole milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 to 5 tablespoons butter
1 French baguette, sliced 1/4-inch thick on the bias
Honey Creme Fraiche, recipe follows
1/2 cup lavender honey, for garnish
1 cup toasted sliced almonds, garnish
2 cups creme fraiche
1/2 cup freshly whipped heavy cream
1/2 cup lavender honey
1 pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, vanilla, salt and cinnamon until well blended.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Remember, butter burns very quickly. Dip each side of the bread in the egg mixture and gently shake off excess egg batter. Do not over soak the bread, or it will be soggy. When the butter begins to foam, add the egg-soaked bread to the pan. Cook over medium-high heat. Peek under the edges of the bread with a spatula and flip when the toast is golden brown. Repeat. Keep warm between 2 plates on the stove top or in a 150 to 200 degree F oven.
  • Garnish the top of each slice of French toast with 1 to 2 tablespoons of Honey Creme Fraiche, drizzle with lavender honey and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of toasted almonds. Repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread.
  • In a medium bowl combine all of the ingredients and whisk well.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The French toast was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the honey creme fraiche was the perfect topping. I will definitely be making this again.
