Last week, I took advantage of the holiday by making a special breakfast for me and RH: crème brulée french toast with sweetened whipped cream and blueberries. I had made the french toast once before, years ago, and I remembered it being amazing and delicious. And it was delicious this time, but—sadly—it wasn’t nearly as amazing. I think it’s hard to scale the recipe down and still manage to get the crackly crème brulée crust that really makes it exciting. It was tasty, though, and it was sweet!
That weekend was also the first time I’d ever whipped cream at home. It was kind of fun, and now I can’t imagine ever using the stuff that comes in a can again! I chilled the mixer bowl and whisk in the freezer before whipping the heavy cream with some confectioner’s sugar, and it whipped up nice and fluffy and yummy in no time.
I’ve really enjoyed trying new recipes lately when I have the time (and that’s the hard part). I’ve got a few things on my list to try making soon, like the french macarons I fell in love with in Paris.
I took this photo of Ladurée macarons on one of our last days in Paris. Aren’t they beautiful??
If you’d like the recipe for the french toast, just let me know. I’m happy to share it!
