Ingredients

• 4 slices of thick bread (brioche or challah work well)
• 1 cup of salted caramel sauce
• 1 cup of crushed pretzels
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Butter for cooking
• Sea salt for sprinkling

Preparation

Start by preparing the custard mixture. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, ensuring both sides are coated evenly.

Next, prepare the pretzel crust. Spread crushed pretzels on a plate. Dredge the soaked bread slices in the pretzels, pressing gently to adhere the pretzels to the bread.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a generous amount of butter. Once melted, place the pretzel-crusted bread slices in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Finishing Touches

Transfer the cooked French toast to a serving plate. Drizzle generously with salted caramel sauce. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top to enhance the flavors. For an extra touch, add whipped cream or fresh berries.

• Serve with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
