Copycat - Flying Biscuit Raspberry French Toast image

The Flying Biscuit's hallmark is obviously their made-from-scratch biscuits, but to me their French toast - with raspberry sauce and honey crème anglaise - is the show-stealer. Here's my take on one of my favorite brunch items - www.bonvivantonline.com

Time 12m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 loaf French bread (4 slices)
1 egg
2/3 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
cinnamon
nutmeg
allspice
1/2-1 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon golden rum (optional)
1 tablespoon condensed milk
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon raspberry preserves
1 tablespoon butter
chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Slice the French bread into about 2-inch thick slices and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, add egg, milk, vanilla flavoring, the cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice and orange zest.
  • If using, add the rum.
  • Whisk ingredients together.
  • Dip each slice in the mixture for a few seconds on each side, then set them aside.
  • In a skillet, add a tablespoon of butter and heat until it begins to foam.
  • Add as many slices of your soaked bread to the pan as you can fit.
  • Cook until golden brown on each side.
  • Remove and place individual servings on plates.
  • Drizzle each slice with the condensed milk and the raspberry preserves (give the preserves a few seconds in the microwave to make them more fluid).
  • Top each slice with a sprinkling of pecans.
  • Note: I like my French toast on the eggy side - makes for a bit of a crust when it cooks - but you can play with the egg-to-milk ratio to find what you like.
