Witch Hat French Toast Stacks with Berry Sauce
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Large Skillet
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 8 slices brioche bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cups fresh mixed berries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl until smooth.
- Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides, and set aside on a plate.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the dipped bread slices in batches until golden on both sides, adding more butter as needed.
- While the French toast cooks, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release juice.
- Cut each cooked French toast slice into large triangles. Stack three triangles per plate to form a witch hat shape.
- Spoon the warm berry sauce over and around each stack. Dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Cut the bread triangles with a sharp knife right after cooking so the edges stay clean for stacking. If the berry sauce thickens too much while sitting, stir in a teaspoon of water to loosen it. The stacks hold their shape best when served right away on a flat plate.
