Home French toast met peer en kaneelsuiker

Breakfast Quick Vegetarian Sweet Weekend

A breakfast that feels like a treat: French toast is ready in fifteen minutes and tastes like you spent hours on it. Use brioche or simply day-old white bread, soak it in a mixture of egg, milk and vanilla, and fry it until crisp and golden. Top with tender pear slices tossed in cinnamon sugar for that extra warmth and sweetness. Finish with a spoonful of crème fraîche and you’ve got a breakfast that starts the week off right.

Recipe

French toast met peer en kaneelsuiker

Thick slices of brioche soaked in a creamy egg mixture, golden-brown fried and topped with tender pear slices and cinnamon sugar. Fast, tasty and a lot more special than an ordinary slice of bread.

Ingredients

4 thick slices brioche (or sturdy white bread)
2 ripe pears
3 eggs
100 ml whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp granulated sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon (cinnamon sugar)
Juice of half a lemon
A pinch of salt
30 g butter (for frying)
4 tbsp crème fraîche (for serving)

How do you make French toast with pear and cinnamon sugar?

Slice the pear thinly and drizzle with lemon juice so the slices don’t turn brown.
In a wide bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
Dip the brioche slices one by one into the egg mixture. Let each slice soak for 20 to 30 seconds per side so the mixture soaks in well.
Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the slices 2 to 3 minutes per side until nicely golden brown. Work in batches and add more butter if the pan gets dry.
Fry the pear slices in the same pan for about 2 minutes over high heat until they lightly caramelize. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over them halfway through.
Place the French toast on a plate, arrange the pear slices on top and add a spoonful of crème fraîche. Optionally sprinkle with extra cinnamon sugar and serve immediately.

Cooking mode Prevents your screen from going to sleep

A good frying pan really makes the difference with French toast. You want a pan that distributes heat evenly so each slice browns uniformly, without burnt edges. Choose a sturdy pan with a good non-stick coating, and you’ll enjoy it every weekend morning.

No pear at home? Use an apple or banana — they work just as well. And feel free to make a larger batch of cinnamon sugar, because you’ll want it on hand all through the autumn. Enjoy.
