Ingredients

  • 1 cup custard-style ice cream, melted any flavor will work
  • 4 slices Brioche bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Optional Toppings

  • maple syrup
  • whipped cream
  • berries
  • bananas
  • ice cream

Instructions

  • Scoop the ice cream onto a plate and allow it to thaw at room temperature. Alternatively, you can warm it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir smooth.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over low heat. Swirl to coat the pan. Place a slice of bread in the ice cream and turn to coat both sides. Transfer the bread to the hot skillet. Repeat with a second slice of bread.
  • Allow the bread to cook for about 2 minutes, then flip and cook the other side of each slice for about 2 minutes more.
  • Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and repeat the cooking process with the remaining butter and bread. Serve the last slices on the plate that held the melted ice cream.
  • Serve warm with the toppings of your choice.
