Brown sugar and butter form a caramelized crust on the French toast. Use a light-textured bread; for a special touch, top with mascarpone (see Ingredient Tips ). Ingredients:
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature |
6 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar |
1 1/2 cups whole milk |
3 large eggs |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
8 1-inch-thick slices french bread |
powdered sugar |
fresh blueberries and raspberries |
pure maple syrup |
Directions:
1. Mix butter and brown sugar in small bowl to blend. Whisk milk, eggs, vanilla, and spices in large bowl to blend.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons brown sugar-butter mixture in each of 2 large nonstick skillets over medium-high heat. Dip bread slices 1 at a time in egg mixture to coat. Add 4 slices to each skillet. Cook until bottoms are deep brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Spread remaining butter mixture over bread in skillets. Turn slices over. Cook until bottoms are deep brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Divide French toast among 4 plates. Sift powdered sugar over. Top with blueberries and raspberries; drizzle with maple syrup.
3. Ingredient tip: Try topping the French toast with Mascarpone (also called Italian cream cheese), sold at supermarkets.
