FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS RECIPE:
WHAT KIND OF BREAD IS THE BEST TO USE?
For the best results, you’ll want to use brioche bread or thick slices of stale bread such as French loaf or challah.
These are great because they have a sturdy structure that can soak up the rich egg mixture without becoming too soggy or falling apart.
I really like brioche because it’s slightly sweet and buttery, which complements the flavors of the tiramisu french toast perfectly.
Stale bread works well because it absorbs the mixture more effectively than fresh bread. Tricks of the trade, people!!
WHAT IS MASCARPONE?
Mascarpone is a rich, creamy Italian cheese that’s a key ingredient in traditional tiramisu.
It’s similar to cream cheese but has a smoother, silkier texture and a milder flavor.
It has a high fat content, which gives it a luxurious mouthfeel and a slightly sweet taste.
Trust me, using mascarpone takes this French toast to a whole new level of deliciousness!
ANY ADDITIONS?
Of course! I’ve always got a good list of additions. Go crazy if you want!
- Fresh Berries: Top with strawberries or blueberries for a fruity touch.
- Maple Syrup: Drizzle some on top for added sweetness.
- Chopped Chocolate: Sprinkle over for a chocolatey kick.
- Whipped Cream: Add a dollop of whip cream for extra creaminess.
- Dusting of Cocoa Powder: Finish with a light sprinkle for presentation.
- Icing Sugar: Sift over the top for a sweet finish.
- Pinch of Salt: Add to the egg mixture to enhance flavors.
- Espresso Powder: Intensify the coffee flavor by adding to the batter.
- Vanilla Extract: Increase the amount for a stronger vanilla taste.
ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?
Yes! Let me know in the comments how it turns out for you.
- Mascarpone Cheese: Substitute with cream cheese if needed.
- Coffee Liqueur: Use instant coffee mixed with a bit of water.
- White Bread: Whole grain or gluten-free bread can be used.
- Heavy Cream: Swap with half-and-half or milk for a lighter option.
- Butter: Use olive oil or margarine for cooking.
- Sugar: Replace with honey or maple syrup in the batter.
HOW TO STORE:
Refrigerator
- Place leftovers in an airtight container.
- Store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in a large skillet over medium heat until warm.
Freezer
- Lay slices on a baking sheet and freeze until solid.
- Transfer to a freezer-safe bag.
- Store for up to one month.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
DANA’S TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Use Stale Bread: It absorbs the mixture better without getting too soggy.
- Don’t Soak Too Long: Dip the bread quickly to prevent it from falling apart.
- Medium Heat is Key: Cook on medium heat to achieve that perfect golden brown color.
- Whip the Cream Well: Beat until soft peaks form for the perfect topping.
