Springtime Brunch :: Brioche French Toast

Monday, April 12, 2010 Recipes  Sunday Suppers  

Brioche french Toast, stuffed with Marscapone and Marmalade

For batter:
1 cup crème fraiche or sour cream
2 cups milk
6 eggs
1 oz brandy or…
2 TSP vanilla
½ cup sugar
2 tsp salt
Orange or lemon zest
Nutmeg

For toast:
6 slices bread 1” thick, with pocket cut from small hole on one side
6 oz mascarpone
8 oz marmalade

Combine all ingredients and whisk together until well-combined.

With jam and cheese in piping bags, fill each piece of bread, being careful to not over-fill, and keeping the ingredients within the pocket and away from the opening.

Dip each slice in batter and allow to soak thoroughly, then drain well.
On a hot griddle, begin by searing the opening, ensuring that it has cooked shut before continuing to cook until golden brown on both sides. Serve immediately.

    I can’t find a good brioche loaf in my neighborhood. Any tips on a fantastic recipe? (Let’s face it, the bread makes the recipe!) Merci!

  • Simply Luxurious writes:

    I am so excited to try this recipe. I have made brioche rolls, but never French toast and have a feeling this will go over very well with any guests I have over for brunch. Thank you.

    On a different note, the blog/website/business is beautiful. I hope someday soon I can be part of one of your cooking experiences in Brooklyn. I have included this particular post on my weekly Cups of Tea (Sunday, June 20th) as well as a description of your business. I know my readers will love what you have to offer if they haven’t found you already. Thank you for such beauty, ideas and creativity. Have a lovely day. =)
