THE BEST FRENCH TOAST I'VE EVER MADE

Steps:

• Choose your bread. If you like very thick french toast (you should try it at least once!), find a local bakery and get yourself a loaf of challah or brioche bread (buy a day-old loaf if they have it.) I don't like using French bread or the regular loaves you find in the deli at the grocery store; the crusts turn out too chewy. You want a nice soft edge. If you can't get to a bakery, head to the grocery store and buy the thickest and softest white bread you can find. (3/4 inch or thicker.) Texas toast is great. I like to use the Artesano brand of bread; they sell a pre-sliced brioche loaf that is pretty legit. But their white bread is also nice and soft. See photos.
• Slice your bread with a serrated knife if you are working with a whole loaf. See photos. I like my slices to be about 1 and 1/4 inch thick, which feels a little ridiculous, but trust me. You can even go up to 2 inches if you're feeling wild. Don't slice thinner than 3/4 inch.
• Set your bread aside, spread out so that it gets a little dried out. Day old bread is great for French toast. In France, they call this dish "Lost Bread" because it's what you make when you have dried out bread to use up. (I experimented with toasting the bread first, but thought it dried out the finished product too much.)
• Make the egg mixture. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl,* whisk together 3 egg yolks, 1 and 1/2 cups heavy cream* or half & half, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg, if you like. Whisk until it is completely smooth and the cinnamon is well incorporated.
• Pour the mixture into a shallow dish like a pie plate, or an 8x8 inch pan. Place a slice of bread in the mixture and let it sit there for 10 to 20 seconds. How long you soak it depends on how thick your bread is. It should be soft when you touch it, but still hold itself together. Flip the bread and soak the other side. You can start cooking the French toast right away, or you can place the soaked bread on a baking sheet or plate while you finish soaking all of them.
• Cook the French toast: Heat an electric griddle or large 12 inch skillet over medium low heat. When it is hot, add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or any oil with a high smoke point.) Swirl it around until the pan is coated. Place the French toast on the pan with 1 to 2 inches in between each slice of bread. Cook on medium low heat for 3-5 minutes. The timing depends on your oven or griddle, so stick around and keep an eye on it.
• Caramelize. When the bottom of the first side is LIGHT brown (we are going to cook this side twice), sprinkle about a half tablespoon granulated sugar on the top (raw) side of the bread. Flip the toast, sugar side down, and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. (Be sure to swirl the pan so oil re-coats it, or add more butter/oil if necessary). Then, sprinkle another half tablespoon of sugar on the cooked side, and flip it over again so that it lightly caramelizes the first side.
• Keep your toast warm. Preheat your oven to the "keep warm" setting, about 170 degrees F. As you finish frying the toast, transfer each one to a wire cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Keep toast warm in the oven until ready to serve.
• I honestly don't even put maple syrup on caramelized French toast. I feel like it doesn't really need it, plus it makes the caramel edge not as crunchy. I like to eat it plain, or with a little jam. But maple syrup is really delicious if you are in the mood! A sprinkle of powdered sugar and a berry garnish never hurt either.
• Keep leftovers stored covered in the fridge. It will keep for 3-5 days. You can reheat leftovers in the microwave or the toaster. Or heat your oven to 350 and heat the toast all together on a wire rack set over a baking sheet, until the toast is warmed, about 5-10 minutes.

COPYCAT TOAST YAY! COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Add the butter, confectioners' sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, maple syrup, maple extract, and heavy cream to the bowl of an electric stand mixer. (You can also use a regular bowl and a hand mixer.) Beat with the paddle attachment until all the ingredients are incorporated and form a slightly stiff dough. It should pull away from the sides of the bowl.
• Place the ball of dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, wrap it up, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large sheet.
• Use a toast-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the cookie shapes. Roll out the scraps and cut any remaining dough.
• Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden and firm.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring in between each, until completely melted.
• Dip the bottom of each cooled cookie into the white chocolate, tapping and shaking off any excess.
• Flip the cookie over and place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet or a cooling rack. Set aside and allow the chocolate to harden and set. Serve with a cup of coffee or tea. Enjoy.

FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Beat the eggs, milk, and cinnamon together. Whisk until well blended.
• Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing bread to soak up some of the mixture.
• Melt some butter (or use vegetable oil) over a large skillet on medium high heat. Add as many slices of bread onto the skillet as will fit at a time. Fry until brown on both sides, flipping the bread when necessary.
• I prefer to serve with golden syrup.

FRENCH TOAST MOCHI COOKIES

Steps:

• Make the French toast topping: Toast 2 slices of bread, then cut into cubes. Add the cubes to a food processor and process until crumbs form. Mix the breadcrumbs, cinnamon, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a bowl and set aside.
• Make the mochi: Combine the glutinous rice flour, milk and maple syrup in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway. Remove from the microwave, stir once more, and let cool. Divide into 16 balls, using oil so the mochi doesn't stick to your hands. Set aside.
• Make the cookie dough: Cut the bread into cubes. Add the cubes to a food processor and process until crumbs form. Combine the breadcrumbs, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a bowl and mix. In another bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, egg and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
• Assemble the cookies: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Divide the cookie dough into 16 balls. Flatten a cookie dough ball into a circle with your palm, then place a mochi ball in the middle of the dough. Pinch the edges of the dough upward around the mochi to enclose the mochi, then roll the cookie gently in your palms to smooth any lumps or cracks. Roll the cookie in the bowl of French toast topping, pressing gently so the topping sticks. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool and enjoy.
