Whipped butter recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature

¼ teaspoon fine sea salt (adjust to taste)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

Combine in stand mixer with whisk attachment and whip until light and fluffy.

  In a wide shallow square dish or bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar.  Then add the milk, vanilla extract, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of salt, continue whisking until combined.

  Place each slice of brioche into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated and soaked through. Time can vary on freshness of brioche. Approx. 2-3 minutes each side. Let any excess drip off.

• Step 2

  To a frying pan on low-medium heat, add the butter.  Gently melt to coat the surface.

• Step 3

  Place the dipped brioche slices onto the melted butter and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

• Step 4

  Once cooked, remove the French toast slices from frying pan and place them on a plate.

• Step 5

  Serve your delicious brioche French toast warm, topped with your favourite toppings like fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, or like mine, a drizzle of maple syrup with whipped salted butter.
