If y’all saw me on Supermarket Stakeout on Food Network last week, you also saw this French toast win the competition! I had so many messages with questions and requests for the recipe so I had to share with y’all. Here, I’m giving the recipe exactly how I made it on the show with a few notes at the end of how would’ve made it if I had all the ingredients I wanted on hand. The choice is yours... or just use whatever you have in your pantry and work around it!
6 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon all spice
Kosher salt
8 slices whole wheat bread
1 cup blackberries
1/4 cup honey, plus 2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 ounces goat cheese
Heat a non-stick pan coated in butter over medium heat. In a shallow bowl or pan, whisk together the eggs, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, all spice, and a dash of salt. Soak the bread in the mixture for several minutes until completely drenched, flipping it every minute it so. In a small saucepan over high heat, add the blackberries, 1/4 cup honey, balsamic vinegar, and a dash of salt. Bring to a slight boil then simmer until ready to serve. In a stand mixer, add the goat cheese, 2 tablespoons honey, and a dash of salt. Paddle together until creamy and smooth. Cook the French toast until golden on both sides. Top with the blackberry syrup and whipped honey goat cheese.
*A few notes of how I would’ve made this recipe better if I had the ingredients I wanted:
to the egg mixture, I would’ve added 1/4 cup of heavy cream and a teaspoon of vanilla extract
to the blackberries, I would’ve added 2 tablespoons of butter
I would’ve switched the whole wheat bread out for Brioche or Challah
