Tres Leches French Toast Recipes

TRES LECHES FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the three milks, the cinnamon, vanilla, salt, cardamom and cloves. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Preheat a very large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium heat, then melt 1 tablespoon butter in 1 tablespoon canola oil.
• In batches, add the slices of challah to the milk mixture, turning a few times to soak up some of the mixture. When the butter is melted, add the coated challah and cook until golden on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining challah, adding butter and oil as needed. Serve with warm maple syrup and raspberry or strawberry preserves.

TRES LECHES BAKED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• 1. Grease a shallow 1½-quart baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk the three milks, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla until well blended.
• 2. Arrange the bread in an even layer in the dish. Pour the milk mixture over the bread. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and preferably overnight.
• 3. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Uncover the dish and bake until puffed and golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
