Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick-sliced brioche bread
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Start by toasting the brioche slices. Heat a wide skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly onto one side of each brioche slice.
Place the buttered side of the bread down in the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and repeat for the other side. Set the toasted bread aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the granulated sugar and stir gently until the sugar begins to melt and turns a light amber color. Be careful not to scorch the sugar.
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble up vigorously—keep whisking until smooth and fully combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Drizzle the warm caramel sauce generously over the toasted brioche slices.
For an optional finishing touch, dust the toast lightly with powdered sugar.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Victorian House Caramel Toast!
