Beyond The Griddle - Sweet French Toast Creations

French Toast Sundae – Want to make gourmet French toast using the same basic egg-and-milk dip method? Just enhance the batter (see our list of Batter Enhancers), dip thick-sliced bread into it and sauté on a griddle coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick. Top with cut fresh fruits, whipped cream and a garnish.

French Toast Créme Brulee – Just like a flan. The night before serving, combine 2 tablespoons light corn syrup, 1 cup each butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick and simmer until syrupy. Beat together 5 eggs, 1 1/2 cups half-and-half, and 1 teaspoon each vanilla extract and Grand Marnier. Place in a 9x13-inch pan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick. Place thick-sliced French bread over the syrup; cover and refrigerate. Next morning bake uncovered at 350° for 35 minutes or until heated through.

Upside Down French Toast – Mix 1 can (16-ounce) unsweetened crushed (drained) pineapple, 1/4 stick butter melted, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon each cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Pour into a 9x13-inch pan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick. Saturate 1 loaf of 1-inch thick sliced French bread in a batter of 6 large eggs, 3/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Place on top of the pineapple mixture and pour excess batter into the pan. Bake at 375° for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
