plonqToday on "Cooking With plonq": I carried through on an idea that I'd been tossing about in my head yesterday. This is French toast with a very small twist.
I bought a loaf of brioche sandwich bread last week, and the last few slices were starting to edge toward stale this morning. I also bought a carton of buttermilk last week that still had about 1/3 of it left -- you can probably see where this is going. Hint: the buttermilk is the "twist".
I whipped together two eggs, just over half a cup of buttermilk, a tablespoon of sugar, a big pinch of kosher salt and some vanilla in a bowl. And nutmeg, because I add that to everything. I laid three slices of bread in a pie tin and poured the custard over them.
I put a pan on the stove with a generous knob of butter in it and turned the bread a few times while I waited for the butter to melt and foam up. Then I fried it in the butter and plated it as seen here.
This was really good. It slight tang that balanced the maple syrup I added after this picture was taken. If you have never made French toast with buttermilk, I recommend giving this a try.
