- To Start... The Butterscotch Sauce:
- Heat the double cream (80°C) and steep the Earl Grey tea bags in the cream for 5 mins. Squeeze the tea bag to extract all the cream and tea.
- Melt the butter and add the brown sugar. Stir in the salt and double cream and simmer until the sauce thickens. Set aside.
- Next... The Orange Whipped Cream:
- Whisk all the ingredients together until the mixture forms soft peaks.
- And Finally... The French Toast:
- Heat the milk and sugar until boiling and allow the tea bags to steep in the mixture for 5 mins.
- Slice the brioche loaf into approx. 8 thick slices (2 slices per person).
- Whisk the eggs and milk together. Dip each slice of bread on both sides in the milk mixture for 30 seconds each side.
- Heat the frying pan over medium heat. Add the butter and oil and allow to warm before frying the slices for 2-3 minutes each side or until slightly golden.
- Serve the French toast with the whipped cream, orange slices, blueberries and Earl Grey butterscotch sauce.
- Now enjoy your luxurious Earl Grey French Toast in bed with a cup of your favourite Twinings Earl Grey blend and relax.
- Happy Baking!
- CHEF TIPS: ENSURE THE PAN IS HOT BUT NOT TOO HOT OTHERWISE YOU'LL GET SLIGHTLY CHARRED BITS ON THE FRENCH TOAST INSTEAD OF NICE AND GOLDEN. TEST THIS BY FRYING A SMALL CUBE OF BREAD THAT HAS BEEN DUNKED IN FRENCH TOAST BATTER
