There are countless recipes for French toast out thereand theres about to be another one.
This one might, however, be the last recipe you ever need.
That is, any flavor you could find in your ice cream aisle.
For quick, rich, flavorful French toast, melt down some ice cream.
French toast is made withsturdy, dried out breaddipped into a sweetened egg custard.
From here, the recipes split off.
Do you add milk, or heavy cream?
Maybe whisk in half and half?
Should you sweeten the custard with brown sugar or maple syrup?
Wait, add asecret bananapuree instead.
I should mention, this trick works with non-dairy frozen desserts too.
No need to make it too hot.
Scramble one egg, and whisk it thoroughly into the melted ice cream.
The rich, flavorful, sweet custard is ready in about a minute.
Add two slices of bread to soak up the custard, flipping when one side is thoroughly soaked.
Fry the slices in a buttered frying pan over medium-low heat.
Check for browning after a minute or two, and flip the toast.
Fry for another minute or so, and cool briefly on a wire rack before serving.
I used coffee ice cream, salted caramel ice cream, and a raspberry sorbet.
Note that since sorbet is mostly a fruit puree with syrup, the melted product is rather thin.
Add an extra egg to the mixture so the finished toast has more structure.
Soak the slices of bread in the custard.
Over medium-low heat, melt the butter in the frying pan.
Fry the bread for about two minutes per side, or until browned and the custard has cooked through.
Cool briefly and serve.
