FRENCH TOAST

 

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 large eggs
• ¾ cup whole milk(180 mL)
• ¾ cup heavy cream(180 mL)
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, or extract
• 1 loaf of bread
• unsalted butter, or ghee, for greasing

PREPARATION:

1. 
   
2. Preheat a nonstick electric griddle to 300°F (150°C). (Alternatively, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.)
3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Add the milk, heavy cream, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla bean paste and whisk until completely combined.
4. Working in batches, dip each slice of bread in the custard, letting soak on each side, until fully saturated but not soggy.
5. Lightly grease the griddle with butter. Once melted, add the soaked bread on the griddle and cook, without disturbing, until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Use a flat spatula to flip the bread and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown, 2 minutes more. Wipe the pan clean between batches and add more butter as needed.
6. Serve the French toast with a pat of butter and a drizzle of warm maple syrup,.
