Quick Breakfast! Bruleed French Toast ~ Savor the Flavor

Our tasty toasted bread ! Yummmmyyy !

So, here's the story. I experienced a lot of hectic days as a student and sometimes I didn't have enough time for breakfast. Why? Im a bit lazy to move my butt and cook a perfect meal. You too might face the same hiccups right? So im thinking of making a simple food for my breakfast and this is what came out! My recipe is not mine, I surf the net and try it out :)

The bread before it is toast.

I finally understand that french bread is not mundane at all. : this was both crispy and soft, creamy and spicy, rich and light. It has gorgeous balance.

So are you excited to try the recipe?

Brûléed French Toast

(adapted from Baked Bree)

1 egg

2 tbsp (30ml) whole milk

3 tsp caster sugar

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp vanilla paste (or extract)

10g unsalted butter

4 medium slices of bread, preferably brioche or similar

4 tsp icing sugar

In a shallow dish whisk together the egg, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Place 5g of the butter into a medium frying pan and set over a medium-high heat until the butter has melted and is beginning to foam. Dip two of the bread slices into the egg mix, making sure that the bread is fully wet on both sides, then place them into the hot pan. Cook until browned then flip over and brown the other side. Place onto a warm plate. Repeat with the other 5g of butter and 2 slices of bread. When all four slices are cooked, dust through a sieve with a teaspoon of icing sugar each. Use a blowtorch to caramelize the sugar.
