A little love letter
Dear caramelized french toast,
Let's be honest: you're dessert pretending to be breakfast, and I'm completely fine with that.
Thick slices of brioche, soaked in vanilla milk and egg, then into a pan with butter and sugar until the outside turns into a thin, crackly caramel shell. That first cut through the crust, the soft middle underneath, it gets me every time.
And then you go and add passionfruit. A glossy, tangy glaze and fresh fruit with its little seeds, cool vanilla yogurt melting into the warm toast. Sweet, sour, crunchy, soft, all on one fork. You belong to slow weekend mornings, coffee refills, and nowhere to be until noon.
Let’s make this piece of happinessxo, Kimberly

Caramelized French Toast
Brioche soaked in vanilla custard, fried in butter and caramelized with sugar, then topped with vanilla yogurt and passionfruit glaze. Crunchy outside, soft inside. Brunch in 25 minutes.
Hi, I’m Kimberly. The kitchen is my happy place, and everything that turns out really good there ends up here. Including the little tricks I’d usually only tell my friends. more about me
make the glaze
In a small saucepan, combine the passion fruit purée, water, and sugar. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for 15–20 minutes until it thickens into a syrup-like consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. It will thicken a bit more as it cools.mix the yogurt
In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with vanilla extract (or fresh vanilla) until smooth. Set aside.fry the brioche
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Dip each slice of brioche into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are evenly coated. In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook the brioche slices until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove from the pan.caramelize
Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar over each slice of French toast. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until it turns golden and crisp.plate & glaze
Place two slices of caramelized French toast on a plate. Top with a generous dollop of vanilla yogurt and drizzle with the passion fruit glaze.add passion fruit
Cut a fresh passion fruit in half and scoop the pulp over the toast for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!Pairings
No kitchen torch?
Can I make the passionfruit glaze ahead?
Why is my french toast soggy?
Can I use fresh passionfruit instead of purée?
