Stuffed French Toast By Chef Andrea Drummer Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Make the French toast: Using a paring knife, make a small slit in the side of each slice of bread, going almost to the other side, but not all the way through. Set aside.
• In a large pot over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla bean seeds and bring to a simmer. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warmed through, about 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs to a large bowl. Slowly a ladleful of the cream mixture and whisk to temper the eggs so they do not scramble. Remove the cream mixture from the heat and slowly stream the egg mixture into the pot, whisking to combine. Let cool to room temperature.
• Arrange the sliced brioche in a 9 x 13-inch (19 x 27 cm) baking dish. Pour the cooled custard mixture over the bread. Let soak for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Transfer the soaked brioche to a clean 9 x 13-inch (19 x 27 cm) baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
• While the toast bakes and cools, make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, and strawberries. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until fully combined and fluffy. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip and chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Make the macerated strawberries: In a separate medium bowl, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, sugar, and lemon zest. Stir well, then set aside to macerate for 10 minutes.
• Make the chantilly cream: In a separate medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
• Pipe the ricotta and cream cheese mixture into the center of each slice of French toast, being careful not to overfill.
• Top each slice of French toast with a generous sprinkle of turbinado sugar. Brûlée the sugar with a kitchen torch until melted and golden brown.
• Add the blueberries and maple syrup to the macerated strawberries and stir to combine.
• Garnish each slice of brûléed French toast with a spoonful of the berry mixture, a dollop of chantilly cream, and a mint leaf. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Drain the chickpeas, reserving the aquafaba, or chickpea water, about 1 cup (240 ml). Reserve the chickpeas for another use.
• Make the whipped cream. Add ¼ cup (60 ml) of aquafaba to a blender cup. Using the hand mixer attachment, whip the aquafaba until it has nearly quadrupled in volume and soft peaks form.
• Scoop the chilled coconut cream solids into a large bowl, being sure not to include any of the coconut water at the bottom of the can. Reserve the coconut water for another use.
• Using the hand mixer attachment, whip the coconut cream until soft peaks form and it has nearly doubled in volume. Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla and beat to incorporate.
• Add the whipped aquafaba and mix on low speed to incorporate. Chill the whipped cream in the refrigerator while you make the French toast.
• Add the remaining ¾ cup (180 ML) aquafaba to a blender cup. Using the stick blender attachment, blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until it is about tripled in volume and frothy.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, remaining 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, cinnamon, and remaining teaspoon of vanilla. Fold in the frothed aquafaba.
• Dip each piece of bread in the custard mixture quickly, until just coated with batter. For best results, use slightly stale bread.
• Heat ½ teaspoon of coconut oil over medium-heat into a medium skillet until shimmering. Working in batches, cook the soaked bread on one side for 2-3 minutes, until a golden brown crust has formed. Flip and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes more, until golden brown. Transfer the French toast to a plate and keep warm in the oven at 200°F (93°C). Repeat with the remaining bread, adding more coconut oil as needed.
• Serve the French toast warm topped with a dollop of coconut whipped cream, a drizzle of maple syrup, raspberries, and blueberries.
