-Handful of pecans
-Turbinado sugar
-4 Tbsp butter, melted
-3 Tbsp brown sugar
-1 tsp cinnamon
-Pinch kosher salt
-Butter, for serving
-Maple syrup, for serving
Classic French Toast Custard Ingredients
-1 ½ cups whole milk
-2 large eggs
-3-4 Tbsp granulated white sugar
-1-2 tsp real vanilla extract
-½ tsp ground cinnamon
-½ tsp nutmeg
Fancy French Toast Custard Ingredients
-1 ½ cups Half & Half or heavy cream
-3-4 egg yolks
-3-4 Tbsp dark brown sugar
-1-2 tsp vanilla paste or one scraped vanilla bean
-½ tsp nutmeg, grated
-Zest 1 lemon or orange
-Splash of bourbon, rum, or brandy
Tangy Butter for Chocolate Babka Toast Ingredients (Optional)
-8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
-3 Tbsp white sugar
-1 pinch kosher salt
Classic French Toast Method:
1. Start by cutting your bread of choice into thick slices. Place onto a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet. Leave out overnight uncovered, or preheat the oven to its lowest temperature and place the bread in for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Either way, your bread should be nice and dry.
2. For the classic custard, in a large bowl combine 1 ½ cups of whole milk, 2 large eggs, 3-4 tablespoons of granulated white sugar, 1-2 teaspoons of real vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon each of ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk together until combined and no streaks of egg remain.
3. For fancy french toast custard, in a large bowl combine 1 ½ cups of half & half or heavy cream, 3-4 egg yolks, 3-4 tablespoons of dark brown sugar, 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla paste or one scraped vanilla bean, ½ teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg, the zest of a lemon or orange, and a splash of either bourbon, rum, or brandy. Whisk together until fully combined.
4. Once the custard is ready, pour it into a cake pan or pie plate. Grab a piece of thickly cut bread and drop it into the custard, letting it sit for 20-30 seconds on each side.
5. Heat 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the soaked bread to the skillet and let the bread fry for 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
6. Place onto a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet in a 350°F oven while you cook all of the pieces.
7. Once every piece of toast is complete, stack on a plate, topped with butter and maple syrup.
8. For a tangy butter for the chocolate babka, whip together 8 ounces of room temperature cream cheese with 3 tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of salt.
French Toast Casserole Method:
1. Start by cutting a large loaf of brioche bread into large cubes. Generously butter a casserole dish, making sure to get every inch. Fill dish with the pieces of bread cubes.
2. For the custard, into a large bowl goes 1 ½ cups of whole milk, 5 large eggs, 3-4 tablespoons of granulated white sugar, 1-2 teaspoons of real vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon each of ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk together until combined and no streaks of egg remain.
3. Then pour the custard evenly all over the bread cubes, making sure that every piece is saturated. For good measure, give it a nice messy toss for even custard distribution.
4. Wipe down any mess created from tossing the bread cubes, then cover the dish with a lid. Place in the fridge overnight to bake the next day, or you can bake it immediately.
5. When ready to bake, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of melted butter, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of kosher salt. Whisk until completely combined then set aside.
6. Chop a handful of pecans then scatter across the top of the casserole. Then drizzle evenly with the brown sugar butter mixture. Top it off with a few generous pinches of turbinado sugar.
7. Place into a 350°F oven for 35-45 minutes, rotating halfway through baking. Remove when golden brown. Let rest for at least 10 minutes.
8. After 10 minutes, slice and serve, topping with butter and maple syrup.

If you love cinnamon, apples and french toast then this recipe is for you! Now you can turn regular french toast into something special. Cooking the apples only takes a few minutes while they soften in a delicious sauce that has hints of cinnamon and caramel. For the french toast itself, we use sourdough french bread which contrasts beautifully with the sweetened sauce. It’s truly delicious!
Ingredients for 2 servings
2 large or 3 medium eggs
1 Tbsp. butter, grass fed
¼ cup whole, or lofat milk
¼ cup coconut sugar
⅓ cup water
1 tsp. Ceylon cinnamon
2 tsp. Vanilla extract, divided
4 slices of bread, I used sourdough french bread
2 tsp. Butter, grass fed
Directions:
Slice the apples and remove the core. Cut the apples into small bite-size pieces leaving the skin on. Place the water and coconut sugar in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved then add the apples and bring to a low boil. Add the cinnamon and simmer the apples for between 7 and 10 minutes or until they are soft. Add the milk to the pan after they have cooked for 5 minutes and stir. Continue simmering until soft. Then keep warm.
Preheat a frying pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. Butter to the pan. Crack your eggs into a bowl, add a teaspoon of vanilla and whisk to combine. Once the butter has melted and is bubbly, place a slice of bread into the egg mixture and then turn the bread over making sure all the bread is coated in egg. Place the egg coated bread into the frying pan and repeat this process with another slice of bread until your pan is reasonably full. Leave room to flip them over!
Cook until the french toast is a golden brown. You may have to raise or lower the heat to get them cooking just right. It should take 2 to 4 minutes per side to cook. Place the french bread on a warmed plate and top with the warm apple topping and don’t forget to add the sauce too! Enjoy!
