• Cream Cheese Filled French Toast
(Yield: recipe is for 2 people)
Ingredients:
1 oz. grape seed oil
2 oz. unsalted butter
6 oz. heavy cream
2 oz. brown sugar
Sea salt to taste
4 whole eggs
2 pieces of sliced Callah bread/Brioche (3" slices)
Maple syrup
1 ea. vanilla bean
Powdered sugar to taste
2 parts butter - 1 part oil (oil added to increase smoke point of butter so it doesn't burn).
1 cup whipped cream cheese
Method:
In a bowl: break eggs, add cream and scraped vanilla bean, add salt to taste. Whisk and put through a colander and set aside.
Pierce/cut a hole into the side of each slice of bread, so you can pipe in the cream cheese.
Heat sauté pan and add grape seed oil and butter mixture
Take sliced bread and submerge in liquid mixture and drip dry (note: on rack as to not impart the mixture into the pan.)
Add French Toast to the pan, sear and sprinkle brown sugar and diced pineapple on top and turn over. Caramelize and repeat step 5 for the other side.
Arrange on desired plate and add hot buttered syrup mixture.
Garnish with fresh pineapple and powdered sugar
