Description

Indulge in Crème Brûlée French Toast, a luxurious blend of classic French toast and creamy custard topped with a caramelized sugar crust.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf thick bread (challah or brioche)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Arrange your bread slices in a greased baking dish, slightly overlapping them.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring every slice is well-coated.
  5. Allow it to soak for at least 30 minutes (preferably overnight in the fridge).
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until set and golden.
  7. Once out of the oven, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar over the top.
  8. Using a kitchen torch, carefully brûlée the sugar until caramelized and bubbly.

Notes

Soak the bread longer for creamier texture. You can use stale bread for better absorption.
