INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

Creamy, slow-cooked oats, sweet, jammy pears, a crispy pecan-date crunch, and a final hit of passionfruit to keep things interesting. It’s rich but not heavy, naturally sweet but not cloying, and the kind of thing that makes you feel like you’re staying at a really nice boutique hotel (even if you’re still in pajamas). Plus, it’s easy to make ahead, which is always a win.

How to serve
Serve this in your favorite bowl, drizzle with a little extra syrup if you’re feeling fancy, and don’t skimp on the crunch, it’s the best part. The passionfruit should be the last thing you add to keep that fresh, tart contrast. If you want to take it up a notch, add a dollop of yogurt or a splash of coconut milk. And if you’re a texture person, toasted coconut or cacao nibs would be a solid move.

How to store
Leftover oats keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, just reheat with a splash of milk or water to bring them back to life. The pear compote and crunch store separately in airtight containers (compote in the fridge, crunch at room temp) for easy layering all week.

EVERY RECIPE DESERVES

A Little Love Letter

This is not your basic French toast. We’re talking crispy, caramelized edges, a creamy vanilla yogurt topping, and a tangy passionfruit glaze that adds just the right amount of freshness. It’s that perfect balance of buttery, crunchy, and melt-in-your-mouth softness that makes brunch feel extra. Whether you’re treating yourself on a slow Sunday morning or trying to impress someone with minimal effort, this dish is a guaranteed win. Think tropical, cozy, and just fancy enough to feel special without the hassle.

This one shines brightest when served fresh off the pan: crispy and golden. Drizzle that passionfruit glaze generously, dollop some vanilla yogurt on top, and let it all melt together in the best way.

French toast is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. Reheat in a pan to keep the crispiness. The yogurt and glaze should be stored separately and added just before serving.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • large pan
  • shallow dish
  • small saucepan
  • small bowl
  • kitchen torch

Ingredients

Units Scale
PASSIONFRUIT GLAZE
  • 100 grams passionfruit purée
  • 100 grams white sugar
  • 25 grams water
FRENCH TOAST
  • 4 slices brioche bread
  • 75 grams cow milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • butter for frying
  • sugar for the crust
TOPPING
  • 3 tbsp yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 passionfruits

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with vanilla extract (or fresh vanilla) until smooth. Set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Cut a fresh passion fruit in half and scoop the pulp over the toast for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
