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.

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

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.

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!

Have you ever tried a Dutch Baby? It’s like a giant, fluffy pancake that’s perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself to something special. This Blueberry Lemon Curd Dutch Baby is a game-changer, blending tart lemon curd with sweet blueberries for an irresistible flavor combo. Plus, it’s super easy to make, so you can whip it up anytime you want a delicious, crowd-pleasing breakfast.

Simply dust it with powdered sugar, drizzle a bit more lemon curd on top, and scatter fresh blueberries for a beautiful presentation. Pair it with a cup of coffee or a mimosa for the ultimate brunch experience. This dish is also versatile – add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert version. Whether it’s a lazy weekend or a special occasion, this Dutch Baby is sure to impress. And for an extra decadent touch, my vanilla oil is a perfect match. Just drizzle a bit on top and serve.

Simply let it cool completely, then cover it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days, and reheat it in the oven to retain its fluffiness.

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • grater
  • food processor
  • medium metal bowl
  • electric mixer
  • small pot
  • whisk
  • sealable container (e.g., jam jar)
  • cast iron skillet
  • medium bowl
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • small sieve

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
LEMON CURD
  • 2 lemons (we use the zest, the juice and the remaining lemon as garnish)
  • 150 grams white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 70 grams butter, room temperature
  • pinch of salt
DUTCH BABY BATTER
  • 2 eggs
  • 65 grams all-purpose flour
  • 120 milliliters whole-fat milk
  • 1 tbsp white sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp butter, for greasing the pan
TOPPINGS
  • blueberries
  • mint leaves
  • powdered sugar
  • lemon slices

Instructions

  1. First, make the lemon curd: Grate the zest of the two lemons and add them to a food processor with 150g / 3/4 cup of sugar. Mix for 1-1.5 minutes until the zest is finely chopped and blended with the sugar.
  2. Transfer the sugar to a metal bowl and mix in the butter with an electric mixer. Next, add one egg at a time, mixing in between. Juice 3 of the 4 lemon halves and add the juice to the butter-sugar-egg mixture along with a pinch of salt. Mix well.
  3. Fill a small pot halfway with water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Place the metal bowl on top of the pot and whisk the mixture constantly until it thickens, about 10-15 minutes. The right consistency is reached when the mixture is around 80-85°C (175-185°F) or when it started to thicken.
  4. Remove the bowl from the pot and pour the lemon curd into a clean, sealable container (I used an old jam jar) and set aside. The lemon curd will make exactly 300g / 10.5 oz. It will become more firm the longer it sits.
  5. Now prepare the Dutch Baby. Preheat the oven to 210°C (410°F) and place a cast iron skillet inside to heat up.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and vanilla extract. Add the flour and mix until creamy. Gradually add the milk, whisking until you have a smooth batter.
  7. Once the oven is preheated, use an oven mitt to remove the skillet and add 1 tbsp of butter. Coat the skillet with the melted butter and pour in the batter. Return the skillet to the oven and bake on the middle rack for 11-12 minutes.
  8. Meanwhile, wash and dry the blueberries and mint leaves. Slice the remaining lemon quarter. Have powdered sugar and a small sieve ready.
  9. Remove the skillet from the oven, spread the lemon curd over the Dutch Baby, and garnish with powdered sugar, blueberries, lemon slices, and mint leaves.
  10. And for an extra decadent touch, my vanilla oil is a perfect match. Just drizzle a bit on top and serve.
