French Toast Made with WaiŪ Bread

As light as a cloud!

Ingredients:

  • 4 slices of Waiū Bread (the soft, sweet bread we love)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2/3 cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)

  • Pinch of salt

  • 2 tbsp sugar (for a hint of sweetness)

  • Butter (for frying)

  • Fresh fruit, like strawberries (for topping)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the egg-cream mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix in the sugar until it's fully dissolved.

  2. Soak the bread: Dip each slice of Waiū Bread into the egg mixture. Let each slice soak for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring both sides are coated well. Allow excess egg mixture drip off before frying.

  3. Cook the French Toast: Heat up a pan or griddle on medium heat, then melt the butter. Once the butter’s bubbling and smells ono, place your soaked bread slices on the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside.

  4. Serve: Plate the French Toast and drizzle with your favorite toppings!

  5. Enjoy: Dig in and enjoy the soft, decadent and custardy goodness!

Extra Topping Ideas:

  • Coconut Syrup: If you’re feeling extra indulgent, drizzle on some coconut syrup for an even richer flavor.

  • Condensed Milk: SOOO GOOD. I don’t even have the words to explain how good this is.

  • Salted Maple Foam: Whip up 1/4 cup of remaining heavy cream with 1 1/2 tablespoon of maple syrup, plus a pinch of salt and boom! A light, creamy and sweet topping!

  • Toasted Macadamia Nuts: Sprinkle some toasted macadamia nuts on top for a delicious roasted flavor that compliments the toast well!

  • Strawberries: The sweet tartness of strawberries compliments the custardy french toast well!
