Yield:4 French Toast 1x
Ingredients
Scale
4 (1.5 inch thick) slices of Brioche or Challah Bread
1 apple sliced and cored (I prefer granny smith)
2 cups corn starch
High heat oil for frying (vegetable, canola, sunflower, etc)
Tongs
9x13 rectangular baking dish
deep cast iron skillet or pot for frying
For the Egg Soak:
1/4 cup Buttermilk
1/4 cup Milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Whisk together buttermilk, milk, eggs, sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Pour into baking dish. Allow both sides of bread to soak up some of the mixture then cover the pan and refrigerate overnight. I also like to prepare my caramel sauce the night before. (click here for recipe)
In the morning, begin heating up your oil (enough for 3/4 of the bread to be submerged) The oil needs to be at 350 degrees F. Hot enough where it bubbles when the bread is immersed, but not smoking. (Click here for deep fry thermometer link.)
Place the corn starch on a large plate, then fully coat the slices of bread in the corn starch. Prepare a sheet tray lined with paper towels for the bread to land on after cooking.
When the oil is to temperature, slowly drop your bread in the oil using your tongs. Fry til golden then flip and repeat on the other side. Transfer to lined sheet tray (see note 1 if making more than 1x recipe). I fry 2 slices at a time. Repeat for all bread slices.
Heat up your caramel sauce. Once all the bread slices are fried, drop the apple slices in the oil just long enough to soften the outside.
Serve french toast with apple slices and caramel sauce. Enjoy (:
Notes
Remember, this recipe tastes best when served immediately. If you are making a lot of french toast I recommend keeping your cooked slices in your oven at 200 degrees F, while you continue to fry the rest. However, be sure to not line your tray with paper towels (fire hazard!).
