Lavender Fog French Toast Bake

Lavender Fog French Toast Bake

Serves 4-6

Way back when I was a line cook working at one of the busiest restaurants in Oakland, we made this *phenomenal* French toast that nearly every table would order during our weekend brunch. Here, I took that recipe and tweaked it with a Tanglewood twist. 

INGREDIENTS

5 eggs

1 cup coconut cream

1 cup milk, your choice

2 cups Lavender Fog concentrate 

1/2 cup brown sugar 

1/2 Tablespoon vanilla extract 

1 lemon, zested

pinch salt 

1 Challah loaf (3/4 of a large loaf)

maple syrup, for serving 

fresh fruit, for serving 

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. 

Combine all the ingredients except the bread together in a bowl using a whisk. Set aside. 

Cut the Challah loaf into equal sized pieces and line a baking dish with the bread chunks. Pour the egg mixture over the bread and make sure everything is covered evenly. 

Bake the French toast for 30-40 minutes, till the egg is cooked through.

Serve with your choice of fresh fruit and maple syrup.
