  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup horchata *
  • 2 tablespoons sugar plus more for sprinkling
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter for cooking
  • 1/4 cup confectioners sugar

Method
 

Directions:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, horchata, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. Place a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
  3. Take a slice of brioche and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring that both sides are well-coated. Let it soak for a few seconds.
  4. Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the soaked brioche slice onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  5. Once all the slices are cooked, stack them on a serving plate. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, and dust with confectioners sugar.
  6. Top your Horchata French Toast with sliced almonds, fresh fruits, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

  • Cooked French toast can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, pop the slices in a toaster or skillet until warmed through.
