Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons salted butter
1/2 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs, beaten
24 mini muffins (chocolate chip, blueberry and corn), halved from top to bottom
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, for dusting
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup jarred chocolate fudge sauce
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup maple syrup, warmed
1 cup dulce de leche, warmed

Steps:

  • For the French toasts: Place a cast-iron griddle over medium heat. Add the butter and allow to melt until the bubbles subside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and eggs. Gently dip the muffins into the egg mixture; allow any excess egg to drip off. Cook until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a serving platter and shake the confectioners' sugar over the top.
  • For the whipped cream: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream, confectioners' sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Use an electric mixer to whip until soft peaks form.
  • For the Mexican chocolate sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate fudge sauce and cream. Microwave until warm, about 30 seconds. Whisk in the chili powder.
  • For serving: Serve the French toasts with the whipped cream, Mexican chocolate sauce, maple syrup and dulce de leche.

TRES LECHES FRENCH TOAST



Tres Leches French Toast image

Inspired by Mexican tres leches cake, my French toast gets richness from sweetened condensed, evaporated and whole milks. A trio of spices -- cinnamon, cardamom and clove -- gives this subtly sweet dish a flavor that's reminiscent of cinnamon buns.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 large eggs
12 ounces evaporated milk
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
One 16- to 18-ounce loaf challah or brioche, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
Unsalted butter, for cooking
Canola oil, for cooking
Warm maple syrup, for serving
Raspberry or strawberry preserves, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the three milks, the cinnamon, vanilla, salt, cardamom and cloves. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Preheat a very large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium heat, then melt 1 tablespoon butter in 1 tablespoon canola oil.
  • In batches, add the slices of challah to the milk mixture, turning a few times to soak up some of the mixture. When the butter is melted, add the coated challah and cook until golden on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining challah, adding butter and oil as needed. Serve with warm maple syrup and raspberry or strawberry preserves.

VANILLA FRENCH TOAST



Vanilla French Toast image

We discovered this easy French toast recipe in Mexico. We couldn't figure out what made the French toast so delicious until we learned the secret was vanilla. Since then, we've added a touch of vanilla to our waffle and pancake recipes, and it makes all the difference. -Joe and Bobbi Schott, Castroville, Texas

2 Tbsp granulated sugar or splenda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
4 Tbsp (1/2 stick) butter, divided

Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately. Strawberries are the perfect topping, either fresh or frozen and thawed, along with real maple syrup.
