A fluffy, tender French toast topped with fresh strawberries and creamy mascarpone, perfect for a comforting and elegant breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices thick-cut brioche or challah bread
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or 2% milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or maple syrup
  • ½ cup (120 g) mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar or maple syrup until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. In a small bowl, gently stir mascarpone with lemon juice until creamy and smooth. Chill in the fridge until ready to use.
  3. Wash, hull, and slice strawberries. Toss lightly with a pinch of sugar or honey if desired and set aside.
  4. Heat butter over medium heat in a skillet. Dip each bread slice into the egg batter, soaking both sides for about 10 seconds without getting soggy.
  5. Place soaked bread slices in the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly puffed.
  6. Transfer cooked slices to a baking sheet and keep warm in an oven set to 200°F (90°C) while cooking the rest.
  7. To serve, arrange French toast on plates, spoon mascarpone cream over each slice, top with macerated strawberries, and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Use thick-cut brioche or challah bread for best texture. Do not soak bread too long to avoid sogginess. Keep cooked slices warm in a low oven. For vegan or gluten-free options, see recipe variations.
