I am telling you, this is the absolute BEST french toast you will ever eat.
It's like a cinnamon roll, caramel roll and french toast all in one!
Take a loaf of french bread. Slice 6 pieces of bread about 1 inch thick. Set the slices aside.
French toast custard:
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
Whisk the custard ingredients together, until well blended and brown sugar is dissolved.
Place the bread slices in a large casserole dish, pour the custard over the bread. Let the mixture soak into both sides of the bread.
While the bread is soaking, you can make the bottom layer of caramel for the french toast.
In a small skillet or medium saucepan, heat 3 tbsp butter, 3 tbsp cream, 1/8 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tbsp cinnamon. You will constantly stir the mixture until it becomes thick and bubbly.
Remove the mixture from the heat, and pour it into the bottom of a baking dish.
Remove the bread from the custard mixture. Place the bread on a flat griddle on medium-low heat. Brown both sides of the french toast, it is done when the bread begins to firm up.
Place the cooked French Toast on top of the caramel sauce in the baking dish. Top the french toast with 1/8 cup of brown sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon. Place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes. Watch it closely, or you will have burnt toast!
While the french toast is baking, you will want to make another batch of caramel sauce (as described above).
Serve the french toast with the caramel sauce drizzled over the top. No need for syrup.
I saw your blog on facebook and thought I would check it out! This french toast looks AMAZING; I'm going to have to test these out on my fiance. :) Hope all is well in Pukwana! Tell the fam hi!
