Ingredients
For the French Toast:
- 1 loaf of thick-cut brioche bread sliced into 2-inch thick logs
- 4 large free-range eggs
- 1 cup whole milk or almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Butter or ghee for cooking
For the Mascarpone "Rice" Filling:
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese chilled
- 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream optional, for thickening
For the Topping:
- Assorted fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
- Thinly sliced fruits such as kiwi, mango, or apple
For the Syrup Glaze:
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon water
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Prepare the French Toast Batter:
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Soak each brioche log in the batter, ensuring thorough coverage.
Cook the French Toast Logs:
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Fry each log until golden brown on all sides. Allow to cool slightly.
Make the Mascarpone "Rice" Filling:
- Combine mascarpone, honey, lemon zest, and heavy cream in a bowl. Whip until the mixture is thick and holds its shape. It should be stiff enough to be piped and retain its form.
Scoop and Fill the French Toast:
- Once cooled, use a melon baller to scoop out a shallow cavity from the bottom of each toast log.
- Fill a piping bag with the mascarpone mixture. Pipe the filling into the cavity, creating a smooth, rounded top that resembles nigiri rice.
Prepare the Syrup Glaze:
- Heat maple syrup, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan until it forms a light glaze.
Assemble the "Nigiri":
- Place a piece of fruit or berry on top of each filled toast piece.
Finish with the Glaze:
- Gently brush the syrup glaze over the French toast for a glossy finish.
Serve:
- Arrange the French toast nigiri on a platter. Garnish with additional fruit slices or edible flowers for an exquisite presentation.
