Ingredients

For the French Toast

3 thick slices brioche bread
½ cup heavy cream
1 whole egg
2 tbsp sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon powder
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Mixed berries, for topping
Berry jam, to taste

Instructions

Make the Hot Honey Caramel

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, heavy cream, butter, Alexandra’s Pikliz® Hot Honey Sauce, and a pinch of salt.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Continue cooking for 5–10 minutes, until the caramel deepens in color and thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Custard

In a shallow bowl or plate, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.

Soak the Brioche

Dip each slice of brioche into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak until well coated but not soggy.

Cook the French Toast

Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Cook the soaked brioche slices until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to serving plates.

Assemble & Serve

Dust with powdered sugar. Top with berry jam, fresh mixed berries, and a generous drizzle of the Hot Honey Caramel. Finish with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.

Chef’s Notes

The caramel sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator once cooled to room temperature.
Reheat gently before serving.
This dish pairs beautifully with espresso, cappuccino, or a bright citrus-forward mimosa.
