Alright, let’s dive into this stuffed brioche French toast with orange marmalade thing I made. It sounded fancy, but it’s really not that hard.
Getting Started
First, I grabbed a loaf of brioche bread from the store. You know, the fluffy, buttery kind. I also picked up some orange marmalade, eggs, milk, a bit of sugar, and some vanilla extract. Oh, and butter, can’t forget the butter for frying.
Prepping the Bread
I sliced the brioche into thick pieces, like an inch thick or so. Then, I took two slices and spread a good amount of that orange marmalade on one side of each slice. Sandwiched them together, marmalade sides facing each other. Basically, made a marmalade sandwich with the brioche.
Making the Egg Mixture
In a bowl, I cracked a couple of eggs, added a splash of milk, a spoonful of sugar, and a dash of vanilla. Whisked it all together until it was nice and combined. Nothing fancy, just a simple egg mixture for dipping.
Dipping and Frying
Here comes the fun part. I dipped each of those stuffed brioche sandwiches into the egg mixture, making sure they got a good soak on both sides. Don’t let them sit in there too long, or they’ll get soggy. Just a quick dip.
Then, I melted some butter in a pan over medium heat. Once the butter was all bubbly, I placed the soaked brioche sandwiches in the pan. Cooked them for a few minutes on each side, until they were golden brown and looked all delicious.
The Final Touch
Once they were cooked, I took them out of the pan and let them cool for just a second. You could sprinkle some powdered sugar on top if you’re feeling extra, but I just dug right in.
The Verdict
Honestly, it was pretty darn good. The brioche was all soft and buttery, the orange marmalade added a nice sweet and tangy flavor, and the whole thing just melted in my mouth. It’s a bit of a treat, but definitely worth trying if you’re looking for a tasty breakfast or brunch idea. And it wasn’t even that difficult!
