Crème Brûlée French Toast Recipe
Introduction
Crème brûlée meets brunch in this rich, custardy crème brûlée French toast that’s every bit as indulgent as it sounds. Thick slices of bread are soaked in a silky vanilla custard, pan-fried or baked until golden, then topped with a layer of sugar that’s caramelised to perfection for that signature crackly finish. This decadent mix of crème brûlée and toast is perfect for those with a sweet tooth who are after something rich, sweet and a little bit fancy. Ideal for slow weekend mornings, special celebrations, or when you want to impress guests with something a little extra. Serve it warm with fresh berries, a dusting of icing sugar, or a drizzle of maple syrup for the ultimate café-style treat at home.
