Ingredients
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Pinch ground cinnamon
1/2 cup crushed cornflakes
1/2 cup crushed crunchy sweetened cereal, such as Cap’n Crunch
4 tablespoons salted butter
4 thick slices brioche
Brown Sugar Mascarpone, recipe follows
1/4 cup mixed fresh berries
Blueberry syrup (or similar), warmed, for serving
Brown Sugar Mascarpone:
8 ounces mascarpone
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, orange juice, brown sugar and cinnamon. In a separate shallow dish, mix the cornflakes and crunchy sweetened cereal. Set both aside.
- Heat a large griddle or pan over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
- One at a time, dip slices of the brioche into the egg batter, coating both sides. Next, press the brioche slices into the crushed cereal until well coated. Place on the griddle and repeat the process with the remaining slices of brioche. Cook the brioche slices until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and slice in half.
- To serve, shingle the slices of French toast on a large plate or platter. Dollop the Brown Sugar Mascarpone around the plate. Top the French toast with the berries and serve with the warm syrup on the side.
Brown Sugar Mascarpone:
