This rendition of French toast offers a delightful balance of sweet, spiced, and fruity flavors.
The challah bread provides a rich, slightly sweet base with a soft, airy texture. The custard soak infuses the bread with a creamy, eggy flavor. Cinnamon and brown sugar add warmth and a caramelized sweetness, complementing the eggy flavor. The berry compote introduces a tart and refreshing counterpoint, balancing the richness and adding bright, fruity notes. The flavors combine to create a comforting and sophisticated breakfast or brunch experience.
Función Premium
Stale Bread is Best
Using slightly stale bread allows it to absorb the custard mixture more effectively without becoming soggy.
Don't Overcrowd the Pan
Overcrowding the pan will lower the temperature and steam the bread instead of browning it properly. Work in batches.
Low and Slow
Cook the French toast over medium-low heat to ensure it's cooked through and golden brown without burning.
Custard Ratio
Experiment with the ratio of eggs to milk/cream in your custard. More eggs will result in a richer, more decadent flavor. Adjust the cinnamon and brown sugar according to preference.
Resting time
Allow the bread to soak in the custard for at least 10 minutes per side so it can soak up the flavor.
