Mallorca French Toast with Caramel Drizzle

Ingredients

• 4 slices of *pan de Mallorca* (sweet Puerto Rican bread) 🍞
• 2 large eggs 🥚🥚
• 0.5 cup whole milk 🥛
• 1 tsp vanilla extract 🍦
• 0.5 tsp cinnamon 🌰
• Pinch of salt 🧂
• Butter for frying (about 2 tbsp) 🧈
• Optional topping: powdered sugar ❄️
• For the Caramel Drizzle:
• 0.5 cup brown sugar 🍬
• 0.25 cup butter 🧈
• 2 tbsp heavy cream 🥄
• Pinch of salt 🧂

Instructions

1. 1Whisk the custard: In a wide bowl, beat eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
2. 2Soak the bread: Dip each slice of Mallorca bread into the custard, letting it absorb on both sides—but don’t let it get soggy!
3. 3Heat the pan: Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. 4Cook the toast: Fry the slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.
5. 5Make the caramel: In a small saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until bubbly. Add cream and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth.
6. 6Serve it up: Stack the French toast, drizzle generously with caramel, and if you’re feeling fancy, dust with powdered sugar.
