Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of thick-cut, organic brioche or challah bread (preferably a day or two old)
- 2 tablespoons (or 2 sachets) of Warm Feelings® saffron latte
- 2 pasture-raised eggs
- ¼ cup organic whole milk or heavy cream
- 1 tsp organic vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp raw cultured butter
- For the Topping: chopped nuts, berries, and/or maple syrup
Assembly:
-
Prepare the Saffron Infused Custard: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together THE FULLEST Warm Feelings® Saffron Latte, eggs, milk (or cream), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Make sure everything is well combined.
-
Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the saffron custard mixture, allowing it to soak for about 15-30 seconds on each side, ensuring the bread absorbs the flavor and liquid but doesn’t get too soggy.
-
Cook the French Toast: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan. Once the pan is hot, place the soaked bread slices on the skillet. Cook for 2-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining soft inside. Avoid overcrowding the pan—cook in batches if necessary.
-
Assemble and Serve: Place the cooked French toast on a plate and top with a sprinkle of chopped nuts for crunch, fresh berries, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
