I made this for my husband and God-daughters. It was a hit. This recipe is mainly about the cream and it was so wonderful. I do plan on making this recipe again and again.
Serves 8
6 whole eggs
4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 pieces of thick-cut white bread or sourdough
Cream ingredients:
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled & halved
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and vanilla.
2. Evenly coat bread, absorbing all the mixture. (I used regular bread and found if I let it set, it would literally fall apart)
3. On a nonstick griddle, grill bread about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Keep warm in oven and cook in batches.
4. In a bowl, combine mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, and cream to the consistency of melted ice cream. Adjust with a few extra tablespoons of heavy cream if needed.
5. Cut French toast pieces diagonally; top with strawberries and blueberries., then drizzle with mascarpone cream. Sprinkle with orange zest and serve immediately.
Cooks note: You can serve with traditional maple syrup, but its not necessary-the mascarpone cream and fresh berries add sweetness.
I honestly have nothing else to add. This dish was so good.
