Crème Brûlée French Toasts
So this is what you’re going to need to make around 6-8 pieces
- Bread loaf - preferably reasonably thickly sliced
- 1 1/3 cups whole milk
- 2/3 cup of heavy cream
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup of sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of Strawberry Essence
- 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Essence
1. Start off by whisking the milk, cream, eggs, sugar, salt and essences together until smooth.
2. Now preheat the oven to around 300°C and while you’re waiting for the oven to warm up, get your bread and start soaking it in your custard mix. I usually take a large shallow bowl or even a plate that sinks down in the middle and pour some of the mix into that bowl/plate and place one slice of bread in it at a time. Let it soak for a few seconds then turn the slice of bread over and let the other side soak.
3. Once you’re done with one slice, place it on a lined oven tray. You might want to get a turner or something that you can use to easily transfer the dipped slices to the oven tray with, without breaking the bread.
Repeat this for as many slices as you are planning to make and when you’re done with the bread slices, pour the remaining custard mix over the top of the slices now on the oven tray evenly.4. Place the tray back into the oven and let the bread bake for around 30-35 minutes. You’ll know when the breads ready by grabbing a fork and poking it into the centre of a piece of bread and twisting slightly. If no liquid custard rises from the toast then it’s done but 35-40 max should definitely cook the toast, care not to burn it!
Keep the toast in the oven for now to retain the warmth.5. Now for the caramelized topping.
Pour about 1 1/2 cups of sugar into a saucepan and stir consistently at moderate heat. Don’t pour in any liquids. You’ll start to notice the sugar melting and soon start to turn a light honey colour and this is when you should turn the heat down considerably so you don’t burn it because the stuff is a pain to clean up if that happens.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and grab a big spoon, the biggest you can find in the house and take a spoonful and pour it evenly over one slice of toast, covering the top completely. Continue until all the slices are covered with the sugar.The caramelized sugar will harden very fast so as soon as you’re done with the last piece you should be able to serve your toast already!
I didn’t use a lot of caramelized sugar in mine but that’s cause I didn’t want to break my boyfriends teeth, though I’m sure it would look much nicer with the whole tops covered.
Serve your toast with some berries and enjoy!
