In Parshat Nitzavim, Moshe gives a very frightening pep talk before he passes away. And when I tell you what we’re making, it’s going to make your parents just as scared, especially when they see this mess! We are making Fairy Bread French Toast!
- 4 slices brioche bread
- 2 eggs
- 7 ounces milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 7 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (finely shredded)
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar
- sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons butter
Slice 4 thick pieces of brioche and set aside. In a shallow bowl, beat together the eggs, milk and vanilla. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, lemon zest and sugar together until smooth.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add half the butter, and let melt. When the butter is foaming, dunk a slice of the brioche on both sides in the egg mixture and place into the pan. Repeat with a second slice.
Cook the French toast, for about 2 minutes a side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining slices.
To serve, top each slice with some of the lemon cream cheese and a generous helping of sprinkles.
