Sour Cream French Toast
Ingredients
French Toast
- 1/2 cup full-fat sour cream
- 1/4 cup of whole milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar packed
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 large eggs
- 8 thick slices challah bread
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp butter
Sour Cream Topping
- 1/3 cup full-fat sour cream
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar packed
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- pinch of sea salt
For Serving
- pure maple syrup
- fresh berries
- sour cream topping recipe above
Instructions
- For the sour cream topping, whisk the sour cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Place in the fridge until ready to use.
- For the french toast, beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the milk, sour cream, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt.
- Heat a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter & 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and let it melt. Make sure the oil evenly coats the pan.
- Working with 4 slices at a time, dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture and allow to soak for about 10 seconds. Transfer the bread to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden (watch the heat and reduce to medium-low as needed so the bread doesn’t burn).
- Transfer the french toast to a sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining tablespoon of butter and coconut oil and 4 slices of bread. Bake for 8 minutes until fully cooked through. Clean any crumbs in between batches, if necessary.
- Serve the french toast warm out of the oven with fresh berries and sour cream topping spooned over top. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
- Enjoy!
