The following recipe for Creme Brulee French Toast was in the newspaper. It
sounds wonderful but I don't know how to make the bread. Can anyone help?
1 qt cream 8 egg yolks
3 to 4 Tbl vanilla 27-ounce challah loaf
3/4 cup sugar 2 Tbl butter, melted
Grease a 10-inch springform pan. Wrap bottom and outside of pan with foil,
reserving enough foil to cover top of pan during baking. Slice challah bread
into 1-inch thick slices. Set aside. In a large bowl or mixer, combine cream,
vanilla, sugar and egg yolks. Beat to mix well. Place 1/4 of the bread slices
into pan layering in a circular pattern. Pour egg mixture over top of bread
until bread is completely soaked. Repeat layering and soaking process until
pan is full. Weigh bread down with a plate anchored with a full food can,
and refrigerate 1 hour. Remove plate and can and cover top of pan with foil,
sealing airtight. Place pan in water bath and bake 1-1/2 hours in an oven
preheated to 325 degrees. Remove foil, cool and refrigerate. When fully
chilled, remove from pan, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to
use. Just before serving, preheat oven to 350. Cut the bread round into 7
wedges. Brush each wedge with melted butter, place on baking sheet and bake
10 minutes or until completely warmed (or warm in microwave). Makes 7
servings.
