Brioche French Toast with Griddled Apples

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Grilling

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup half-and-half
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 4 slices brioche or challah (1-inch thick)
  • 3 tbsp. coconut oil, divided
  • 2 medium apples, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • Butter, pure maple syrup, and flaky salt for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat charcoal grill to high.

  2. Beat eggs, half and half, vanilla and salt in a shallow dish until thoroughly combined.

  3. Place a large cast-iron skillet on the grill. While it heats, dip 2 slices of bread in the egg mixture and soak for 30 seconds per side. Add 1 tbsp. coconut oil to the pan and heat until melted and beginning to shimmer. Carefully add the soaked bread and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining 2 slices and 1 tbsp. oil.

  4. Add the remaining 1 tbsp. oil and apples to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are light golden brown, about 8 minutes.

  5. Serve the French toast with the apples, butter, syrup and flaky salt.
