Ice Cream French Toast

Step 1

Scoop ice cream into a small mound on a piece of plastic wrap. Freeze while you prep.

Step 2

Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl until no white streaks remain. Season with pinch of salt.

Step 3

Cut a pocket into the crust side of one bread slice, creating a deep pocket for filling.

Step 4

Slide frozen ice cream into the pocket. Top with a second bread slice to create a sandwich.

Step 5

Repeat with remaining 2 bread slices and ice cream to make a second sandwich.

Step 6

Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high until it foams and smells nutty, ~2 minutes.

Step 7

Dip both sides of one sandwich into the egg mixture, ~2 seconds per side. Transfer to skillet.

Step 8

Sear without moving until golden brown and crispy, 2 minutes. Flip and cook other side 2 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining sandwich and any leftover egg mixture.

Step 10

Drizzle warm syrup over both toasts. Serve immediately while bread is crispy outside.
