FRENCH TOAST AMANDINE

French Toast Amandine image

My children came up with this recipe on the morning after we worked together on a dinner of weakfish amandine, the fillets sautéed in brown butter and scattered with almonds. They asked: "Couldn't we do something similar with French toast? And make it, like, sweet?" We certainly could, and we did: a simple breakfast fry-up made elegant and well groomed. Fry the slices up in good butter, and serve them with maple syrup or a slash of jam. Pile everything in the sink afterward and boogie; you can clean up later. Breakfast in America.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

6 large eggs
½ cup whole milk, cream or half and half
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 loaf thick-sliced brioche, challah or country bread
1 cup sliced almonds
4 to 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, ideally clarified or high-fat.

Steps:

Preheat oven to 200. Whisk together eggs, milk (or cream or half and half), sugar, salt and vanilla extract.
Lay bread in a baking pan, and pour egg mixture over top. Let sit 3 minutes, then turn slices over, making sure egg mixture has covered slices, with no dry spots
Spread sliced almonds on a baking sheet, and put soaked bread slices on top. Press to adhere, then turn and repeat on other side; sprinkle with almond slices as needed. One side will be more crusted; cook that side first (and serve facing up).
Put some of the butter into a skillet placed over medium-high heat; when it's hot, add bread slices in batches, cooking until they're golden brown and crisp, a few minutes per side. Transfer finished toasts to a platter, and place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining butter and bread.
Serve finished toasts with fruit compote, maple syrup or (and!) a dusting of confectioners' sugar.
