Cheesecake Factory French Toast Recipe
If you've ever savored Cheesecake Factory's decadent French toast, you have something more to be excited about - you can make this at home!The secret to this indulgent breakfast lies in its rich, creamy texture and the beautiful caramelized sugar crust.You'll want to use a hearty egg bread or challah for its ability to hold the creamy custard and enhance the flavor.A tip from my experience: let your bread soak in the custard for a few minutes to absorb all that richness!
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Brioche Bread
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Sugar plus extra for caramelizing
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- Butter for cooking
- Maple Syrup for serving
Instructions
- Slice the brioche bread into thick pieces, about 1 inch each.
- Place them on a baking sheet to dry out slightly, which helps absorb the custard better.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Make sure the mixture is smooth, with sugar thoroughly dissolved.
- Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Allow the bread to soak up the liquid without getting too soggy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a bit of butter.
- Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook until golden brown on one side, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Sprinkle a small amount of sugar on the uncooked side, then flip the bread.
- Cook until the second side is golden and sugar has caramelized.
