2 Eggs, beaten

2 Tbls. Maple Syrup
The Stuffed Toast:

8 Slices Brioche Bread
-
½ Cup Mascarpone Cheese
-
2 Tbls. Heavy Cream
-
½ tsp. Vanilla Extract
-
½ tsp. Ground Cinnamon
-
1 tsp. Sugar
-
Pinch of Salt
-
Lemon Zest (for that vibrant pop!)
The Pan Coating:

4 Tbls. Unsalted Butter, melted

2 Tbls. Brown Sugar
-
2 Tbls. Maple Syrup
The Vanilla Cream & Garnish:
-
1 Cup Heavy Cream + 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract (whipped to soft peaks)
-
Caramel syrup, extra maple syrup, fresh strawberries, blueberries, and toasted coconut.
The Method
-
Prep the Stuffing: Mix the mascarpone, 2 Tbls. cream, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar, salt, and zest. Spread generously between your brioche slices to create four thick sandwiches.
-
The Dip: Whisk your custard base ingredients. Submerge each stuffed sandwich until evenly coated.
-
The Coating: On a baking sheet, mix your melted butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Lay your soaked toast into the mixture, then flip to coat both sides.
-
The Bake: Pop them into a preheated 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes until golden brown and caramelized.
-
The Finish: Plate it up, dollop on that fresh vanilla cream, and go wild with the berries and syrups.
OMG! That’s good French Toast.
