Equipment
- Shallow Pan/Pot for frying
- Deep Fryer (optional)
Ingredients
- ½ Loaf Brioche
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence
- pinch of salt
- 3 scoops Green Tea ice cream or of your choice
- Frosted Flakes
- ¼ can peach slices diced
- 2-3 strawberries diced
- m&ms
- mini mochi
- Chocolate sauce, drizzled
- Sweetened condensed milk, drizzled
Instructions
- Mix together eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pinch of salt in large bowl.
- Set the egg mixture aside.
- Turn your attention to loaf of Brioche. Cut the loaf in half with serrated knife. Once in half cut out the middle of the loaf from the front keeping three sides intact. The middle should come out as a cube. Cut this cube into 8 smaller cubes (4 cubes make one layer, 4 cubes make second layer). These will fit back into middle of loaf after fried.
- In a heavy bottomed, deep sauce pan add enough oil to fully or at least halfway submerge the cube toast (about 2 inches minimum). Heat up the oil on medium-high heat until a small piece of battered bread dropped in bubbles quickly and softly when dropped in. Should take a few minutes.
- At this point submerge the large carved cube toast into the egg mixture thoroughly coating all sides and the inside. Pick it up out of the mixture allowing excess to fall of and carefully place into the oil. Ideally, using a large slotted spoon or two to lower it in. It should bubble immediately and softly.
- Fry until golden brown on all sides (about 3-4 minutes per side). Turning to make sure all sides brown evenly. Monitor the browning and if it is happening to fast lower the heat or take it off the heat.
- Once golden brown take it out of the oil and place on a rack to drain or a paper towel lined plate.
- Place the small cubes in egg mixture and fry these until golden brown, too. Drain on paper towel lined plate, as well.
- Place fried cubes back into larger french toast cube.
- On serving plate place frosted flakes and sprinkle with strawberries, peaches, m&ms, and mini mochi. Place the cube toast at one edge and drizzle with chocolate syrup and sweetened condensed milk. Top with Ice cream of your choice, Pocky, and sprinkle with extra toppings.
- Enjoy!
