Clausers Bed Breakfast Creme Brulee French Toast Recipes

CREME BRULEE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix in brown sugar and corn syrup, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Pour into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Remove crusts from bread, and arrange in the baking dish in a single layer. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, vanilla extract, orange brandy, and salt. Pour over the bread. Cover, and chill at least 8 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the dish from the refrigerator, and bring to room temperature.
• Bake uncovered 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until puffed and lightly browned.

CREME BRULEE FRENCH TOAST WITH DRUNKEN STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• For the French toast: At least 2 hours and up to 1 day ahead, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the bread slices on a rack on a baking sheet. Put the bread in the preheated oven, then immediately turn the oven off and let the bread sit until it begins to dry out, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Whisk together the eggs, yolks and granulated sugar until smooth. Whisk in the half-and-half, orange liqueur, vanilla, orange zest and salt. Lay the bread on a rimmed baking sheet or in a large baking dish, pour the custard mixture over the top and let sit for 15 minutes. Flip and let sit for at least 30 minutes more. (You can also cover and refrigerate overnight, turning a few more times.)
• For the strawberries: Meanwhile, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar and orange liqueur in a bowl. Let sit at room temperature until the strawberries release their juices and soften slightly, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. While the bread is soaking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over high heat, then add the muscovado sugar and whisk until smooth. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat and spread the mixture evenly over it. Place the soaked bread directly on the sugar. Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 20 minutes.
• Serve the French toast, sugar-side up, topped with the berries and their juices.

CLAUSER'S BED & BREAKFAST CREME BRULEE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In a small heavy saucepan or skillet, melt butter with brown sugar and corn syrup over moderate heat, stirring and cooking until smooth and glossy. Pour into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking dish. NOTE: I have doubled the ingredients in this step so that there is an extra syrupiness on the bottom.
• Cut bread into 1-inch slices.
• For the first layer, arrange about ten bread slices on top of the sugar mixture, squeezing them down to slightly fit. (I say about because it depends on how big your french loaf is).
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, half & half, vanilla, Grand Marnier and salt until combined well.
• SLOWLY pour about half of the mixture over the first layer of bread slices.
• Place the final layer of bread slices over the first, matching the slices, sandwich style.
• SLOWLY pour the remaining egg mixture over the top layer of bread, letting mixture soak into the entire surface of each slice of bread.
• Chill, covered at least 8 hours and up to one day (I like to make the night before, put in the fridge and pop in the oven in the morning).
• Remove bread mixture from refrigerator about 1 hour before baking.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Bake uncovered in the middle of the oven until puffed edges are golden - about 45 minutes.
• Serve immediately.
• Be sure to serve both layers together as the yummy part is on the bottom of the pan. (No need for table syrup).

CROCKPOT CREME BRULEE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Line a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker with a plastic slow cooker liner. Place bread cubes in prepared slow cooker.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt. Pour over bread cubes in cooker. Press bread lightly with back of a large spoon to moisten bread completely. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours.
• Remove from refrigerator. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 7 to 8 hours or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Turn off cooker. Let stand for 30 minutes. Carefully lift plastic liner from cooker, using a plate to transfer French toast to a cutting board. If desired, slice French toast to serve or spoon it into serving dishes. Top with ice cream topping.

CRèME BRûLéE FRENCH TOAST RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Pour the heavy cream into a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish.
• Mix 1 cup of sugar (200 g) and the cinnamon in a small bowl and add to the cream, followed by the egg yolks and vanilla. Whisk well to combine.
• Dip each slice of bread into the cream mixture, coating both sides well. Place the dipped bread on the wire rack set over the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, flip the bread over, then bake for another 15 minutes, until slightly crispy.
• Slice the strawberries into decorative shapes of your choosing. For a strawberry rose, place a strawberry stem side down and carefully make thin slices around the outer edge of the strawberry, making sure not to cut all the way through. Continue cutting and rotating the strawberry until you get to the center. Fan out the "petals".
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set a wire rack on top.
• For a strawberry fan, lay a strawberry on its flattest side. Tilt the knife at a 45˚ angle and make thin, angled slices through the strawberry, keeping the top of the strawberry connected and slicing all the way through the bottom of the berry. Fan out the slices.
• Sprinkle the remaining sugar on top of the bread and broil on high for 3 minutes, until the sugar has melted and browned, or carefully use a kitchen torch to brûlée the sugar.
• Top with whipped cream and strawberries and serve.
• Enjoy!
