French Toast:
- 1 loaf brioche bread (Preferably a day old; See Notes for Vegan version)
- 1 cup Almond milk, Unsweetened (Room Temp.)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 large organic eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 Tbsps Agave syrup
Caramelized Apples:
- 1 medium granny smith apple, peeled + diced
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsps organic brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon organic pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
- pinch of sea salt
FRENCH TOAST:
Whisk together all the ingredients (except for the bread) into a large bowl and set aside so that everything marries together and activates, about 5 minutes.
Preheat griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, melting it.
Dip 1 slice of bread into the batter, soaking it in for a few seconds on each side. Place slice unto the heated griddle, cooking on each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Repeat until all french toast have been made.
CARAMELIZED APPLES:
In a separate saucepan over medium-high heat, 1 tablespoon of butter along with the diced apples and stir a few times until butter melts and coats the apples. Add in the brown sugar and maple syrup, tossing everything together and cooking it until sugar dissolves, for 3-4 minutes. The sauce should become brown and sticky. Add in the pinch of salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Stir again until well combined and remove from heat.
To serve—stack french toast atop each other, spoon a generous amount of caramelized apples and chopped pecans, and drizzle with maple syrup, if desired.
Bon Appetit!
- BREAD: Instead of brioche bread, you can also use vegan challah or ciabatta bread or any other rustic bread. In most cases, day old bread works best!
