Crème Brûlée French Toast

Crème Brûlée French Toast Recipe

Creme Brulee or Crème Brûlée is my all time favorite dessert! I was introduced to it as a very young college student and have never had another dessert take its number 1 spot. If a restaurant has traditional french vanilla bean Crème Brûlée on the dessert menu, that is what I am having.

 Crème Brûlée French Toast
This is a great alternative to cinnamon French Toast, change things up every so often!
Add fresh fruit, powdered sugar, and whip cream:)


I am always interested in ways I can incorporate that flavor into other dishes that I serve my family, and today I am sharing a SUPER easy way you can have the Creme Brulee decadent flavor for your next family breakfast/ brunch!

Ingredients:
3/4 Cup Crème Brûlée Coffee Mate Creamer
6 Slices Bread
- french or texas toast loaf best
1 Cup Milk
2 Eggs

Optional {recommended}:
Powdered Sugar
Fresh Fruit
    -strawberries
    -blueberries
    -bananas
Whipped Cream

Supplies:
Pan
Whisk
Bowl
Mesh sift



Step 1:
Cut up your french bread, set aside. Whisk wet ingredients together until mixture is frothy.

Any bread can be used with this mixture, yet french bread will give a great texture and overall result:)


You can also switch out the eggs for egg whites to make this a lighter version, as well as use non-fat or low fat milk.

Step 2:
Warm oil on a skillet.

Step 3:
Dip slice into mixture, not too long, do not over soak bread.
 Whisk eggs and cream until you see it become bubbly and frothy.
Step 4:
Then fry on hot pan, until golden brown on each side.

Step 5:
Top with powdered sugar sifted for a fine finish, whip cream and fresh fruit are always a crowd pleaser! 

Whip up some fluffy eggs and crispy smoked bacon and you are in for a real treat!



Enjoy.

Snickerdoodle Peach Cobbler Recipe

Snickerdoodle Peach Cobbler Recipe 

Oh. my. goodness., snickerdoodle cookies have been my favorite cookie ever since I was a little baker in my mom's kitchen! Now I've got my kids hooked, they LOVE snickerdoodles....and so does my lovely hubby. I always bring snickerdoodles to parties and potlucks, they are the best! Any time I find a recipe idea the includes a cinnamon twist, I think....hmmmm I wonder if I can turn it into a snickerdoodle recipe. Score! This recipe is fabulous!!!!!

Supplies

Peach Filling:
2 cans of peaches
2 tablespoons minute Tapioca
1/4 cup sugar

Cookie Cobbler:

3 Cups of all-purpose flour
1 and 1/3 Cup of sugar
2 teaspoons of cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon of kosher salt
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1 Cup of softened butter (two sticks)
FAST Option: you can also use a pre-made mix and sprinkle batter on top of wet mixture.

Cinnamon Topping:

1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon


Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Coat large casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Combine all ingredients for the Peach filling straight into casserole dish, mix and set aside.

Here is what it should look like, not very appetizing per say but it gels and thickens so that your cobbler is smooth and doesn't turn out 'dry.' I had made this at my mom's house, that's her gorgeous antique table she found at a local antique dealer.

This is a close up of the tapioca inside the liquid, set it aside so it has a chance to soak a little while before adding the snickerdoodle topping.

Step 2:

Mix or sift cobbler dry ingredients together thoroughly. Then add in the softened butter until mixture is evenly distributed. Spread cookie cobbler ingredients over the top of the peach filling mixture in casserole dish.


Step 3:

Combine cinnamon topping mix ingredients. Sprinkle the cinnamon topping over entire dish and back for about 45 minutes depending on your oven. It is finished when cobbler looks golden and crisp.

Another great thing about this recipe is that it can be made ahead for when you're having a lot of guests over for dinner or brunch. All you need to do is warm a portion up in the microwave and enjoy with coffee or vanilla ice cream on top. This cobbler is not too sweet but is very scrumptious....
Enjoy!

Add the 'optional ingredients' above now if desired by folding it into filling mix. Spoon a line of filling around the center of the pastry circle to form a ring shape of filling. Place toy baby or pecan (optional).

Step 3: Start at one end to tuck the outside edge of pastry over the filling until you reach other side. Then start at one end to tuck the inside edge of pastry over the filling to seal the entire ring of cake. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
