Blue French Toast

About Blue French Toast

The unique Blue French Toast gained popularity after appearing in the hit TV series Breaking Bad. The distinctive color is reminiscent of the iconic 'Blue Sky' methamphetamine produced by the main character, Walter White, giving fans a playful culinary connection to the show.

French Toast has ancient roots, reportedly dating back to the Roman Empire, where it was known as "Pan Dulcis." The name "French Toast" was first used in 17th century England before the technique spread across Europe and the Americas. By incorporating blue coloring and blue candies, this variant offers an enticing visual twist.

Ingredients

• Bread - Thick slices, preferable brioche or challah
• Eggs - 4 large
• Milk - 1 cup
• Vanilla Extract - 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Sugar - 2 tablespoons
• Blue Food Coloring - A few drops
• Blue Rock Candy - Crushed, for garnish
• Butter - For the pan
• Maple Syrup - Optional, for serving

Preparation Steps

1. Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar. Ensure all the ingredients are well blended. Add a few drops of blue food coloring and mix until you achieve a vibrant blue hue.

2. Soak the Bread

Slice the bread into thick slices if not pre-sliced. Dip each piece into the blue egg mixture, ensuring even coating.

Cooking Process

3. Cook the French Toast

Melt a generous amount of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet. Toast each side until golden, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Maintain a consistent heat to avoid burning and check the skillet temperature with your cooking timer.

4. Garnish and Serve

Transfer the cooked French Toast to a serving plate. Sprinkle with crushed blue rock candy for a crystal-like garnish. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired.

Enjoying Blue French Toast

This vibrant dish is best enjoyed as a special breakfast or brunch. Pair it with a freshly brewed coffee or tea to balance the sweetness. The crunch from the blue rock candy complements the soft texture, offering a delightful experience inspired by the world of Breaking Bad.
