Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices thick-cut brioche or challah (about 1 inch thick)
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup brewed espresso, cooled
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Small pinch of salt
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, cold
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • 2 to 3 tbsp unsalted butter, for cooking

Method
 

  1. Whisk the eggs, milk, espresso, granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, and salt in a shallow dish. Soak the bread for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once.
  2. Beat the mascarpone, powdered sugar, and ½ tsp vanilla on low speed for about 1 minute, until fluffy. Chill until needed.
  3. Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook each slice for 3 to 4 minutes per side, adding butter as needed. Keep warm in a 200°F oven.
  4. Stack two slices per plate, top with mascarpone cream, and dust generously with cocoa. Serve right away.

Notes

The mascarpone cream can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving so it’s easy to spread.
