Description
Indulge in the luxurious flavors of Overnight Crème Brûlée French Toast, a perfect blend of rich custard and crispy caramelized sugar. This delightful breakfast treat is ideal for special occasions or leisurely weekends. Simply prepare it the night before and let it soak, allowing the fluffy challah bread to absorb the creamy custard mixture infused with vanilla. In the morning, bake until golden brown and finish with a sweet, crunchy sugar topping that perfectly mimics traditional crème brûlée. Serve warm with fresh berries or a drizzle of maple syrup for an unforgettable breakfast experience that will impress your family and friends.
