Creme Anglaise + Brioche Loaf = French Love Toast
How many possible ways can I say “holy f@$&ing sh!t!!!!! This is the best damn ________ I’ve ever had????” The bottom line is that there are a finite amount of adjectives for the word incredibly-freaking-good and I may have exhausted them all. This is another one of my posts where I’m going to let the photos speak for the food.
What we have here is the French toast that’s served at Hollywood’s infamous Square One Dining. I wrote about this dish previously and this was my attempt at replicating it. For full recipe instructions, follow this link.
Heavy cream with vanilla bean.
Pretty, pretty egg yolks.
Balthazar’s Brioche Loafed sourced from my local Whole Foods.
After letting the creme anglaise sit in the fridge overnight, I left it out on my kitchen counter for a few hours to let it warm to room temperature and “soften”.
It took quite some discipline to not finish off the creme anglaise last night on its own.
An iron griddle is a must have home accessory. MUST HAVE!
My only regret was that I didn’t make more.
Two very happy brunch guests.
Maple syrup not necessary.
