Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick slices of white or brioche bread
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Lingonberry jam
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, ground cardamom, and vanilla extract until the custard mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the custard mixture into a shallow dish that is wide enough to accommodate the bread slices.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
While the skillet is heating, quickly dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for 2-3 seconds per side.
Place 2-3 soaked slices of bread onto the hot skillet (depending on the size of the pan) and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all the bread slices are cooked, arrange them on plates and top with a dollop of lingonberry jam.
Dust the French toast with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Norwegian French Toast!
