RECIPE: Double French Toast


This was inspired by a breakfast we had in the Gravenstein Inn, Mendocino CA area back in the early 1990s.

This breakfast goes very well with TicoFusion(tm) coffee!

Starting with the AllRecipes.com recipes:

  • Pre-heat oven 350 degrees F
  • Beat together:
    • 3 eggs
    • 1/4 cup milk
    • 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1/4 tsp orange liqueur
    • pinch of salt
  • Dip bread in egg mixture and fry in 1TB butter, Medium heat (no more than dial-4)
  • In baking dish, mix & melt in oven while pre-heating:
    • 1/3 brown sugar
    • 2 tsp corn syrup
  • Lay 1 bread slice, spread cream cheese.
  • TicoFusion(tm) time! Speared local jam like pineapple or Mangostene from neighbor Caroline's tree.
  • Lay the other bread slice on top - the DOUBLE french toast!
  • Bake for 20 minutes.

Double the recipe for 5 people!

  • Each gets 2 double french toasts with a small/medium sized baguette.
  • When dipping in the egg mixture, don't dip too long or it will get soggy.
  • Use the Del Prado queso crema(cream cheese) 220 grams.

Buen provecho!
