How To Make jer's favourite french toast
-
1Butter two small casserole dishes and set aside until needed.
-
2Add the crossiant chunks into a large bowl and set aside.
-
3Now add the following into another bowl: eggs, cream, vanilla, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until nice and frothy.
-
4Slowly pour the custard over the croissant pieces. Then mix well with a gentle hand. All the pieces need to be coated in the mixture.
-
5Next, pour the French toast mixture into the prepared dishes. Cover with tin foil and place in the fridge until ready to use in the morning.
-
6Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
7I usually prepare the strawberries while the oven is preheating. Add the sliced berries, maple syrup, and salt into a small bowl and stir well. Place in the refrigerator to chill until needed.
-
8Take the cold French toast bake out of the fridge and remove the tin foil. Then place the dishes on a cookie sheet and bake for 25 - 30 minutes.
-
9If your dish is browning too quickly, cover with tin foil. It should be a dark golden brown.
-
10Check with a fork to make sure that the egg has cooked completely before removing it from the oven. Place on rack for a few minutes. Run a knife along the edge of the dish to release it. Then remove from dish and place it top side up on your serving plate.
-
11Gently spoon the strawberries and maple syrup over the baked French toast. Top with whipped cream and enjoy.
