WARNING: This French toast is wickedly indulgent. Enjoy it for breakfast on special occasions, although it’s probably better suited to a decadent dessert. Either way, it’s freaking tasty!
Ingredients
- 2 cups half and half (500 mililiters)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 ounce butter (15 grams) butter
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
- 4 eggs
- 5 1/2 ounces caster (superfine) sugar (150 grams)
- 1 brioche loaf
- 2 tablespoons homemade chocolate hazelnut spread
- 1 cup blueberries (9 1/2 ounces/270 grams)
- 1 1/2 fluid ounces coconut oil (50 milliliters)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 °F (175 °C).
- Put the cream, honey, butter, orange zest and vanilla bean in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring, and remove from the heat.
- Put the eggs and sugar in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
- Pour the hot cream mixture over the egg mixture and whisk to combine.
- Using a bread knife, cut the crust off the brioche loaf to create a square log. Slice the loaf in half lengthways. Spread both halves with chocolate hazelnut spread, like you’re making a big sandwich, then add the blueberries to the middle and close the sandwich.
- Soak the brioche loaf in the warm egg custard for 10 minutes, or until it’s well soaked.
- Put coconut oil in a medium pan over medium heat and cook the brioche loaf until it’s golden brown all over, then finish in the oven for 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel and slice into fingers.
