Copycat Cheesecake Factory Bruleed French Toast

Instructions

1. Whisk together all Custard ingredients in a shallow dish until well combined. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
2. Soak each slice of Homemade Brioche bread in the Custard mixture for 90-120 seconds per side, ensuring it's fully saturated.
3. Melt 2 tablespoons of European-style Butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-low heat.
4. Cook 1-2 slices of soaked bread at a time for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining Butter and bread.
5. While French toast is cooking, spread the Muscovado sugar evenly on a baking sheet.
6. Once French toast is cooked, immediately sprinkle the hot French toast with the Muscovado sugar, ensuring it adheres well.
7. Place the sugared French toast under the broiler for 3-4 minutes, watching carefully, until the sugar is melted and caramelized. (Alternatively, use a kitchen torch to brulee the sugar).
8. Drizzle with Grade A Maple syrup, dollop with Crème fraîche, dust with Confectioners' sugar and serve immediately with Seasonal berries.
