Ingredients:
- 4 thick slices of bread (brioche or challah work best)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup fruit jam or preserves (strawberry, raspberry, or your favorite)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until fully combined.
- Dip the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Let the bread soak for about 10-15 seconds on each side.
- Cook the French Toast: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the soaked bread slices to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Assemble the French Toast: Spread a layer of your favorite jam on one slice of the French toast. On another slice, spread a layer of whipped cream. Sandwich the two slices together to create a “Jam ‘N’ Cream” French toast stack. Repeat with the remaining slices.
- Serve: Dust the French toast with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries if desired. Serve warm with additional whipped cream or jam on the side.
This Jam ‘N’ Cream French Toast is a delightful combination of rich flavors and textures, making it the ultimate indulgence for breakfast or brunch!
