Description
These Roasted Blueberry French Toast Crostini are a delightful twist on traditional French toast, with a burst of flavor from roasted blueberries, creamy goat cheese, fresh basil, and a drizzle of honey.
Ingredients
Scale
For the French Toast Crostini:
- 1 French baguette (sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices)
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or whole milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup butter
For the Toppings:
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 3 oz goat cheese
- 1–2 tablespoons fresh minced basil
- 1/4 cup honey (to drizzle)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon until well blended. You can use a blender or stand mixer for ease.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip bread slices into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Cook the soaked bread slices in the skillet over medium-high heat until both sides are golden brown.
- Remove the French toast crostini to a plate to cool slightly. They will be softer than traditional crostini.
- On a baking sheet, roast the blueberries in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until they begin to burst slightly.
- Spoon the roasted blueberries onto the French toast crostini. Gently press down with a spoon to burst some of the blueberries.
- Sprinkle goat cheese and minced basil over the top of the crostini.
- Drizzle honey over the assembled crostini and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can customize these crostini with additional toppings like chopped nuts or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when cooking the French toast slices to ensure even browning.
