Ingredients

Red velvet French toast

  • 8 slices brioche
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup half and half cream 10%MF
  • 2 tbsp sugar granulated
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2-3 tbsp red food coloring
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2-3 tbsp butter or oil, for frying

Cream cheese icing

  • 4 oz cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar also known as powdered sugar or confectioner's sugar
  • 3/4 cup whipping cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

Cream cheese icing

  • Beat the cream cheese and icing sugar together until smooth. Add the whipping cream, vanilla, and salt. Continue to beat for another 2-3 minutes, until thickened. Transfer the bowl to the fridge and let it set for at least 20 minutes.

Red velvet French toast

  • Preheat the oven to 250F. Place the slices of brioche on a sheet pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they dry out slightly. Cool the slices completely. Whisk the eggs, cream, sugar, vanilla, cocoa powder, food coloring, and salt together.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the slices (still on the sheet pan). Turn the slices every few minutes and spoon the mixture over them until almost everything has been absorbed. About 10 minutes.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, then place the slices into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned.
