A cozy and unique twist on classic French toast using Korean banana milk custard and rich black sesame cream, perfect for a special brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices thick-cut brioche or challah bread
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Korean banana milk
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) whole milk or dairy-free alternative
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for frying
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) black sesame paste or tahini
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, chilled (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • Optional toppings: sliced bananas, toasted black sesame seeds, maple syrup

Instructions

  1. In a large shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, Korean banana milk, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined, about 3 minutes.
  2. Dip each slice of brioche into the custard mixture, soaking for 20-30 seconds per side. Place soaked slices on a plate.
  3. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling, about 2 minutes.
  4. Cook soaked bread slices in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp. Adjust heat as needed.
  5. While cooking the French toast, whip heavy cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form (2-3 minutes). Fold in black sesame paste and powdered sugar until smooth and spreadable.
  6. Plate the French toast slices, dollop or spread black sesame cream on top, and garnish with optional sliced bananas, toasted black sesame seeds, and maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Use thick bread like brioche or challah for best soaking without falling apart. Control heat to avoid burning. Whip black sesame cream to soft peaks to avoid graininess. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and dairy-free milk. Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently.
