Marc Murphys French Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the olive oil to a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat until shimmering, then add the beets, salt and pepper. Cook until slightly soft, about 6 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic, oregano and wine, then transfer to the oven and roast, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the snails and continue to roast until the snails heat through, about 5 minutes
• Meanwhile, place the bread on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil on one side, then toast in the oven, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle the toasted bread with salt.
• Spoon the beets and snails on the toast and enjoy!

Steps:

• Place the bread in a large bowl and set aside.
• Whisk together the cream, vanilla sugar, brandy, salt and eggs (or use a blender). Pour over the bread. Let it sit for a few minutes, and then turn the bread over to ensure proper absorption. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat large oven-proof saute pan over medium-high heat and add the butter. Sprinkle some flour and some vanilla sugar on top of the bread slices. When the foam from the butter subsides, put the soaked bread in the pan and cook on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip the bread and place the pan in the oven until cooked through and custardy in the middle, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Serve with powdered sugar and maple syrup.

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs, milk, juice, vanilla, liquor, sugar, zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a bowl.
• Place bread in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold bread slices in a single layer.
• Pour egg mixture over bread; soak 10 minutes.
• Turn slices over (Carefully) and soak 5-10minutes more, until soaked through.
• Preheat oven to 200 deg F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet, and set aside.
• Heat canola oil (with some butter if so wish) in a skillet over medium heat.
• Fry half the bread slices until golden brown, around 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer to wire rack; place in oven while cooking remaining bread.
• Wipe skillet and repeat with fresh oil/butter and bread.
• Keep in oven until ready to serve.
• Serve with dusted powdered sugar and maple syrup (I like fresh berries on top, too).
