Serves 8
INGREDIENTS
- 6 whole eggs
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 pieces of thick-cut white bread or sourdough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
DIRECTIONS:
- Crack eggs, and whisk them together with whole milk, vanilla extract.
- Evenly coat all eight pieces of bread with mixture. All egg/milk mixture should be absorbed when finished.
- Using nonstick griddle, cook each piece of toast approximately 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Butter can be used if desired to griddle toast (or omitted).
- Keep French toast warm in oven until all pieces are cooked and ready to be served.
- Combine mascarpone, sugar, and heavy cream until well mixed. Should be the consistency of melted ice cream. Adjust with a few tablespoons of heavy cream if needed.
- Cut French toast pieces in half diagonally, and shingle on large serving platter.
- Sprinkle strawberries and blueberries across the platter of French toast.
- Drizzle mascarpone cream over the platter and top with orange zest.
- Serve immediately.
Cook’s note: Traditional maple syrup can also be available, but not necessary, as the mascarpone cream and fresh berries add sweetness to the dish.
