BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• For brioche: place all ingredients except the butter in a mixer equipped with a dough hook (preferably a kitchen aid k5). Mix on slow speed for 7 minutes until the dough has come together and is elastic and smooth Increase the speed of the mixer to medium and gradually add the butter in small pieces waiting for each piece to be absorbed in the dough before adding the next. This process will take at least 7 more minutes until all the butter is incorporated in the dough. When finished the dough will be very smooth, elastic, velvety and extremely soft. It is important not to add more flour to the dough, it should be extremely soft. Place dough in refrigerator overnight or for at least 6 hours. After dough has rested divide in 2 pieces and shape into logs of 8 inches long and 3 inches across. Place in a warm draft free place approximately 80 degrees and cover with a damp cloth It will take at least 2 hours for the bread to double in volume, eggwash with a mixture of whole eggs and heavy cream and bake in a 375-degree oven for 50 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding. The bread should completely cool before slicing. It would probably be best if brioche be made the night before the French toast is to be made.
• For the French toast: Blend all ingredients together, place in a low flat-bottomed baking dish large enough to accommodate the whole slices of brioche. Slice brioche to 1 inch thick slices, soak in egg mixture, be sure the slices are saturated. Heat a large cast-iron skillet to medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter and cook Fench toast for about 3 minutes on either side until golden brown. Serve immediately with warm maple syrup.

FOIE GRAS BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST WITH ASPARAGUS AND WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• For Brioche: Sprinkle yeast over milk in large mixing bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Combine flour, sugar and salt, beat in alternately with eggs and blend until dough is very smooth and elastic. (For best results, use standard mixer with a paddle attachment, mixing for approximately 10-15 minutes total.) Beat in butter, a tablespoon at a time, until well incorporated (dough will be very soft and sticky); continue to mix for 3 minutes more. Remove dough from bowl and shape into a ball. Transfer to a large buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 2 hours. Punch down, reshape into a ball, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• After refrigeration, preheat oven to 375°F Turn dough out onto lightly floured board; quickly form into loaf shape. Place dough in buttered 8x4-inch loaf pan; let stand at room temperature 20 to 30 minutes, or until dough just begins to soften (dough will rise slightly).
• Transfer dough to oven, lower the temperature to 350°F and bake until golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when tapped, about 50 minutes. Let cool for several minutes, unmold while still warm and transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
• For Brioche French Toast:.
• Mix egg, milk, vanilla and cinnamon in a bowl with a fork. Melt the margarine in a pan large enough for all 4 slices of toast/brioche. Dip each slice of brioche/toast into the egg mixture. Fry in the pan until golden and crunchy.
• For Foie Gras with Wild Mushroom Mixture:.
• For the fricassee: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over moderate heat. Add the shallot and sauté until the shallots are softened. Add the mushrooms and continue to sauté until the mushrooms are tender and start to caramelize, about 12-15 minutes. Add the port wine and reduce until the wine is almost evaporated. Add the stock and fresh thyme and simmer until reduced to a sauce consistency, approximately 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Keep warm.
• For the Asparagus-Mushroom mix:.

Add the vinegar, cook 1 minute and then add the red wine and simmer until the mixture has a jam-like, syrupy consistency, about 7-10 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• To assemble:.
• Heat a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Season the foie gras medallions with salt and pepper. Place the medallions in the pan and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes on each side (keeping rare). Take care not to burn the medallions and lower the heat if they brown too fast. Remove the medallions and pour out all but 1 tablespoon of the fat. Add the cooked mushroom fricassee and heat through.
• Place slice of brioche in the middle of a warmed plate.
• Add a nice spoon of mushroom fricassee in the middle of the brioche and spread.

CORNFLAKE-CRUSTED BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Slice brioche loaf into eight 1"-thick slices with a serrated knife.
• Using a 3" round cookie cutter, cut each slice into a circle and set aside. (Reserve bread scraps for bread crumbs.).
• In a shallow dish, whisk together half and half, sugar, cinnamon, salt, orange zest, and eggs.
• Put cornflakes into another shallow dish.
• Working with 1 circle of brioche at a time, dip in the egg mixture, allowing brioche to soak for 10 seconds on each side, then coat in the cornflakes.
• Transfer to a sheet tray lined with waxed paper.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a 10" nonstick skillet over medium heat until just foaming.
• Transfer 4 slices of brioche to the pan and cook, turning once, until both sides are golden brown, about 4 minutes.
• Divide the french toast between 2 serving plates.
• Wipe out skillet, add remaining butter, and repeat process.
• Dust the french toast with confectioners' sugar and drizzle with maple syrup.
• Serve with berries and sliced fruit, if you like.

STUFFED BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Arrange six slices of the brioche in a baking pan large enough to fit them all comfortably in one layer. Spread each slice with 1 ounce of cream cheese, leaving a one-half-inch border at the edges. Spread each of the other six slices with a heaping tablespoon of jam, and then invert them onto the halves with the cream cheese, making sandwiches.
• In a large bowl whisk the eggs, milk, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, orange zest, and salt. Pour the mixture over the sandwiches, and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes, turning the sandwiches once.
• Lightly spray the peaches with oil.
• Prepare the grill for direct and indirect cooking over medium-low heat (about 350°F).
• Brush the cooking grates clean. Tip one sandwich on its side so that any extra liquid runs off. Spray both sides with oil and then place on the grill. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Grill over direct medium-low heat, with the lid closed as much as possible until browned on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes, turning once. Move the sandwiches onto a piece of foil placed over indirect medium-low heat, close the lid, and continue cooking until the sandwiches are firm in the centre, about 5 minutes. At the same time, grill the peaches over direct medium-low heat until the flesh is marked and the peaches are warm, 5 to 10 minutes, turning once or twice. Remove from the grill and cut the peach quarters in half lengthwise.
• Serve the sandwiches hot with the peaches on top.

BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST WITH BACON, BANANA & MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously, then add the single cream, vanilla and sugar, and whisk again.
• When you're ready to cook, heat the oven to its lowest setting, pop a baking tray inside and pour the cream mixture into a shallow dish or tub that will allow space for the brioche to lay flat. Heat a griddle or a frying pan to a medium heat, and melt the butter and the oil together.
• Place the brioche slices in the cream mixture for 1 min, then turn each slice and gently press all over, allowing them to soak up the liquid for another 1 min or so until fully soaked.
• Remove the brioche from the mixture and place onto the hot griddle or pan (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for a few mins on either side until the inside is tender and moist (but not wet). To check this, make a small cut in the middle with a knife - the inside should be like cooked bread pudding. Keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining slices.
• In the meantime, fry the bacon in a pan for 5 mins until crispy. Serve the French toast topped with bacon, bananas and a drizzle of maple syrup.
