The Aristocats Recipe

This French toast incorporates one of the Aristocats' favourite treats: cream! Dusted with icing sugar and cinnamon, this is a meowgical breakfast.

Ingredients

• 6 slices brioche bread, cut ¾-inch thick

• 2 eggs, plus 1 egg yolk

• 125ml single cream

• 1 tbsp sugar

• ¼ tsp orange zest

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• 1 & ¼ tsp ground cinnamon, divided

• 2 tbsp melted butter

• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

• 1 tbsp icing sugar

• Maple syrup, for serving

Method

1. In a baking dish, whisk together the eggs plus egg yolk, cream, sugar, orange zest, vanilla, and 1 teaspoon of the ground cinnamon. In a small bowl, stir together the butter and oil. In another small bowl, stir together the icing sugar and the remaining ¼ teaspoon cinnamon.

2. Coat 3 slices of the bread with the egg mixture. Ask an adult for help with the stove, then warm a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush the skillet with the butter mixture and add the bread slices. Cook on each side until golden, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the other 3 slices of bread, adding more butter mixture to the skillet.

3. Lightly dust the toast slices with the cinnamon sugar. Serve immediately with maple syrup.

Tip: To reheat leftover French toast, warm it in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until warmed through, about 2 minutes per side.
