French toast with pear and cinnamon sugar

Breakfast Quick Vegetarian Sweet Weekend

A breakfast that feels like a treat: French toast is ready in 15 minutes but tastes as if you spent hours on it. Use brioche or simply stale white bread, soak it in a mixture of egg, milk and vanilla, and fry it until crisp and golden. Top with soft pear slices dusted with cinnamon sugar for a touch of warmth and sweetness. Finish with a spoonful of crème fraîche and you have a breakfast that sets the week off right.

Ingredients

4 thick slices brioche (or sturdy white bread)
2 ripe pears
3 eggs
100 ml whole milk

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 to make French toast with pear and cinnamon sugar?

Slice the pear into thin rounds and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Whisk the eggs in a wide bowl with the milk, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir well.
Dip the brioche slices one at a time into the egg mixture. Let each slice soak for 20 to 30 seconds per side so the mixture absorbs well.
Heat a knob of butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the slices for 2 to 3 minutes per side until nicely golden brown. Work in batches and add more butter if the pan dries out.
Fry the pear slices in the same pan for about 2 minutes on 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 a little extra cinnamon sugar and serve immediately.

Cooking mode Prevents your screen from going to sleep

A good frying pan really makes a 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 surface and you'll enjoy it every weekend morning.

No pear in the house? Use an apple or banana — they'll work just as well. And feel free to make a larger batch of cinnamon sugar; you'll want it on hand all autumn. Enjoy.
