Brioche French Toast with Strawberry Compote

Inspired by our recent visit to Butchers Union last week where the Blueberry French toast was out of this world, I wondered how I could FillaUp that recipe here at home. This is what we came up with! Enjoy

Ingredients:

  • 4 slices of Brioche

  • 1 egg

  • 1/8 cup of Half and Half

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1/2 teaspoon frozen orange juice concentrate or 1/2 cup orange juice

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

  • Fresh Grated Nutmeg

  • Butter

  • Cinnamon Sugar mix

Step 1: Start with the best Brioche bread you can find. We use the Trader Joe’s Brand.

Step 2: Whisk together egg, cream, vanilla, orange juice, cinnamon, & nutmeg.

Step 3: Melt butter in a Non Stick skillet

Step 4: Dip bread in egg mix and cook in skillet for 3 - 4 minutes per side. Watch carefully that it doesn’t burn. Flip when lightly browned.

Step 5: Before you flip the French Toast, liberally coat the bread with the Cinnamon Sugar Mix

Step 6: Flip and then sprinkle the second side with the Cinnamon Sugar mix as well. Flip one more time to so you get a bit of a crunchy coating on both sides from the sugar coating

Serve with Powder Sugar, Maple Syrup, Butter, Strawberry Compote

Hash Brown Crusted Egg Bake

I created this recipe last summer when I was asked to feed 240 people for lunch at a retreat in early October, 2018. I made it several times for the family trying to perfect both the texture, the price per serving and flavor. I wanted an egg bake with some structure and a bit of crunchy crust that would give some contrast to the typical softer egg casserole texture. Adding a layer of Cheese on top as well as incorporating some in the crust helped to achieve the contrast I was looking for. Success. A filling yet frugal casserole that can feed a crowd!

Korean Fried Ramen Chicken Bites

I love fried Chicken, especially crunchy, extra crunchy fried chicken. I also love Korean food. The spice, the sesame and soy elements that accompany almost every dish is a carnival for my tastes buds. I have seen a recent uptick in folks sharing Ramen Fried Chicken recipes so I decided to give it a try and put the Fillaup Twist on it. Here it is.

HollandaiseUp your Eggs

Hollandaise and eggs are a match made in heaven. No matter how you fix your eggs, a bit of hollandaise sauce will always elevate them, making an ordinary breakfast, extra-ordinary. Kick it up a notch with this Fillaup version and give your hollandaise sauce and herbacious garlicky twist. Hollandaise sauce is a perfect emulsion of butter, yolk and lemon making a creamy decadent sauce perfect for any occasion.
