We're making a classic American breakfast dish that’ll knock your socks off! This French toast is drenched in a luscious blackberry sauce and topped with whipped cream. It’s not just breakfast; it’s a bloody masterpiece! Let’s get cracking!
Ingredients
- 8 slices of thick-cut bread (Challah or Brioche work wonders)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Butter (for frying)
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries break down and the sauce thickens. Strain it through a sieve if you want it smooth, or leave it chunky if you’re feeling adventurous!
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Make sure it’s mixed well, or you’ll ruin the whole dish!
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Don’t let it sit too long, or you’ll end up with soggy bread!
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a knob of butter. Once it’s sizzling, place the soaked bread slices onto the pan.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Don’t burn it, alright? Keep an eye on it!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip it with a hand mixer until you get soft peaks. Don’t overdo it, or you’ll end up with butter!
- Stack the French toast on plates, drizzle with the blackberry sauce, and top it off with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Make it look bloody good!
There you have it! A French toast dish that’s not just a breakfast—it's a bloody celebration! Serve this up to your family or friends, and watch them devour it. Now, get in the kitchen and make it happen!
