Scale
For the French toast
- 1 French bread loaf, 1-2 days old, cut in thick slices
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
For the toppings
- Mascarpone cheese
- Lemon zest
- Blueberries
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, mascarpone, lemon zest, vanilla extract and salt in a large bowl, or flat-bottomed baking dish.
- Soak both sides of the bread slices in the egg mixture. (Don’t over-soak the bread or it’ll become soggy)
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, and add butter. Once the butter melts, cook the battered French toasts slices until golden on both side, about 3-5 minutes per side.
- Top the cooked French toast with a dollop of mascarpone, lemon zest, and maple syrup. Enjoy!
Notes
It’s best to use 1-2 day old bread for this recipe. The slightly stale bread is able to absorb more of the eggy custard without getting soggy or breaking.
