WeHo French Toast
Equipment
- Medium pan
- Microplane grater
Ingredients
- 1 croissant, brioche, challah loaf (I used a croissant loaf)
- 1 cup half and half
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp Grand Marnier
- 3 tbsp brown butter
- 1 orange
- crème Fraiche
- fresh berries
- fresh mint
- warm maple syrup
Instructions
- Make the brown butter in a medium sized pan, then set aside to cool.
- Pour the half and half into a shallow squared container (glass or plastic). Whisk eggs separately to avoid making a mess, then add it to the half and half. Pour in the Grand Marnier, add the cinnamon and orange zest. Whisk to combine all the ingredients.
- Heat your pan to medium low and add a tbsp of butter. Once the butter is melted, quickly dip each side of the bread into the custard, then place in the pan. Cook on each side for 2 to 4 mins or until golden brown.
- Place the French toast on a plate, pour on the brown butter, add a dollop of crème fraiche, fresh berries, and garnish with a few mint leaves. Drizzle with warm syrup and enjoy!
