Truth: I would give my left arm to take my Sunday morning back, strictly to whip this recipe up (from How Sweet Eats) and enjoy is over a warm cup of tea & a pair of fuzzy socks. Seriously? This is heaven on a plate.
Tiramisu French Toast
serves 4
- 1 loaf challah bread
- 8 whole eggs
- 1/4 cup cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
- 1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 tablespoons butter
- maple syrup for serving
- sliced strawberries for serving
Sliced one loaf of challah bread into 1-inch thick slices. In a large baking dish, combine eggs, cream, vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon and 1/2 tablespoon instant coffee powder and whisk together. Lay bread in dish and let soak in the egg mixture for about 30 seconds each side.
Heat a skillet on medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Add french toast and fry until golden brown. Flip (adding more butter if needed, use your judgement) and fry on other side. Repeat with remaining slices of bread and tablespoons of butter.
Mix mascarpone cheese with honey and remaining coffee powder and spread on french toast slices while warm. Sprinkle with cocoa powder and serve with syrup and strawberries.
