Best Brioche French Toast With Apples Recipes

OVERNIGHT APPLE CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Spread the sugar mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the apple pie filling evenly over the sugar mixture. Layer the bread slices on top of the filling, pressing down as you go. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and vanilla. Slowly pour this mixture over the bread, making sure that it is completely absorbed. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.
• In the morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place covered pan into the oven and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 60 to 75 minutes. When done remove from oven and turn on broiler. Remove foil and drizzle maple syrup on top of the egg topping; broil for 2 minutes, or until the syrup begins to caramelize. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes, then cut into squares. Invert the pan onto a serving tray or baking sheet so the apple filling is on top. Serve hot.

BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST WITH APPLES AND MASCARPONE

Steps:

• Whisk together yolks with cream, add remaining ingredients. Set aside. Saute apple slices in 3 tablespoons butter until just tender, about 3 to 4 minutes, sprinkle with sugar and grated lemon zest. Cut Brioche into 2-inch slices. Cut each slice sideways 2/3 of the way through to create a pocket. Spread mascarpone mixture on top and bottom of pocket. Put 1/6 of the apples in pocket and press to close. Submerge each slice stuffed brioche in the custard. Saute in butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until browned on both sides. Place in 400-degree oven for 3 minutes. Serve with powdered sugar and maple syrup.

BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST WITH APPLES

Steps:

• Heat two tablespoons of the butter in a heavy skillet. Add the apples and three tablespoons sugar and cook over very high heat until the apples are lightly caramelized and tender but still hold their shape. Sprinkle with lemon juice and set aside.
• Beat the eggs and milk together in a shallow bowl. Add the brioche slices one at a time, leaving each in the bowl long enough to become saturated. As the slices are soaked, transfer them to a foil-lined baking pan big enough to hold them in a single layer.
• Scatter half the almonds over the slices and lightly press them in. Sprinkle with half a tablespoon of sugar.
• Melt the remaining butter in a large skillet or a griddle. Put the slices, almond-side down, in the skillet and cook over medium heat until lightly browned. While the slices are cooking, scatter the remaining almonds and sugar on them, lightly pressing the almonds in. Turn the slices when they have browned, to brown the second side.
• Serve the slices while still warm, dusted with sifted confectioners' sugar, with the apples on the side. If desired, the French toast and apples can be made in advance and reheated in a 200-degree oven.
