Ice Cream French Toast

Ingredients

• 4 slices bread, thick-cut (brioche or challah preferred)
• ½ cup ice cream, any flavor
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 tbsp maple syrup or honey

Instructions

1. 1

   Scoop ice cream into a small mound on a piece of plastic wrap. Freeze while you prep.

2. 2

   Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl until no white streaks remain. Season with pinch of salt.

3. 3

   Cut a pocket into the crust side of one bread slice, creating a deep pocket for filling.

4. 4

   Slide frozen ice cream into the pocket. Top with a second bread slice to create a sandwich.

5. 5

   Repeat with remaining 2 bread slices and ice cream to make a second sandwich.

6. 6

   Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high until it foams and smells nutty, ~2 minutes.

7. 7

   Dip both sides of one sandwich into the egg mixture, ~2 seconds per side. Transfer to skillet.

8. 8

   Sear without moving until golden brown and crispy, 2 minutes. Flip and cook other side 2 minutes.

9. 9

   Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining sandwich and any leftover egg mixture.

10. 10

    Drizzle warm syrup over both toasts. Serve immediately while bread is crispy outside.
