Well, now, if you ever been to Boston or heard of Boston Cream Pie, you know how good it is. But what if I told ya, you could turn that rich, creamy pie into somethin’ you can eat for breakfast? Yup, that’s right, I’m talkin’ ’bout Boston Cream French Toast. Now, don’t get all fancy on me, this here recipe’s real simple, just like makin’ regular French toast, but it’s got that extra special twist that’ll have ya lickin’ your fingers.
Ingredients
You’ll need a few things to get started. Don’t worry, none of it’s hard to find. Here’s what you need:
- 1 can of Pillsbury refrigerated crusty French loaf
- 4 large eggs
- 1 and a half cups of milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (you can use the cheap kind, don’t matter much)
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 box of instant vanilla pudding (4 ounces)
- 2 cups of milk for the pudding
- 1 cup of chocolate chips (for the ganache)
- Butter for fryin’ the toast
Now, you might be thinkin’, “That’s a lot of ingredients,” but trust me, it ain’t too much trouble, and it’ll taste real good when it’s all done!
How to Make It
First, you’ll want to start with your French loaf. You buy it in the can, right? So, pop that thing open and roll it out. Don’t get scared if it makes a loud noise! Then, bake that loaf according to the directions on the can. It won’t take long, just maybe 10-15 minutes, depending on your oven. Once it’s done, let it cool for about 10 minutes. You don’t want it too hot to handle when you start slicin’ it up.
Next, get you a bowl and beat those eggs. Add your milk, vanilla extract, and sugar in there. Mix it all up real good till it’s smooth, like a nice custard. Now, grab that loaf you baked, and cut it into thick slices, about an inch or so wide. You want them big and sturdy, ’cause you’re gonna dunk ‘em in that egg mixture like you’re makin’ regular French toast.
Heat up a skillet or a griddle, and melt some butter in it. Once it’s good and hot, dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure it’s all soaked up. Then, fry them slices in the skillet, cookin’ them on each side till they’re golden brown, real crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Don’t rush it, though, you want ‘em nice and crisp.
While the bread’s cookin’, it’s time to make that creamy filling. Get your instant vanilla pudding and add it to a bowl with 2 cups of milk. Stir it real good till it thickens up. It won’t take long, and it’ll look like a nice, smooth custard. You might want to taste it while you’re stirrin’—ain’t no harm in that!
Once your French toast is cooked and ready to go, take each slice and spread some of that pudding between them slices, like you’re makin’ a sandwich. Now, I know what you’re thinkin’—this is already a lot of creamy goodness, but we ain’t done yet!
The Ganache
For the final touch, you gotta make the ganache. Don’t worry, it’s real easy. Just melt the chocolate chips in a bowl, and then add a little bit of milk. Stir it all together till it gets smooth and shiny, like a nice chocolate sauce. Then, drizzle that over the top of your stacked-up French toast. Don’t be shy now, cover it up good!
Serving It Up
Now you’re ready to dig in. You got yourself a stack of rich, creamy, chocolatey French toast that tastes just like Boston Cream Pie! It’s sweet, it’s rich, and it’ll fill you up good. I like to serve it with a nice cup of coffee, but you can have it with whatever you like.
Don’t go rushin’ through this, though. You want to savor each bite. This ain’t the kind of thing you eat in a hurry. You gotta enjoy it slow, just like a nice Sunday mornin’ breakfast.
If you’re ever lookin’ to impress someone or just treat yourself to somethin’ extra special, give this Boston Cream French Toast a try. It’s real simple, but boy, is it rich! You won’t regret it, I promise you that.
