Ingredients
- 8 slices of thick-cut bread (Challah or Brioche works beautifully)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Butter for frying
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the blackberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
- Stir gently until the blackberries break down and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Don’t overwhip it; you want it fluffy, not butter!
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a generous knob of butter.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for a moment, then place it on the hot skillet.
- Cook until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side. Repeat until all slices are done.
- Stack the French toast on plates, drizzle with the blackberry sauce, and top with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
