Ingredients

  1. 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  2. 4 chamomile tea bags
  3. 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  4. 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon honey
  5. 1 1/2 cups milk
  6. 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  7. 8 large eggs
  8. Kosher salt
  9. 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  10. 8 1-inch-thick slices brioche
  11. 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
  12. 2 cups mixed berries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300˚ F. Combine the heavy cream and tea bags in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then immediately take off the heat. Let cool 15 minutes, then remove the tea bags.
  2. Whisk the lemon zest and juice and 1/3 cup honey in a small bowl. Set aside. 
  3. Whisk the chamomile cream, milk, vanilla, eggs, remaining 1 tablespoon honey and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until completely combined. 
  4. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and let melt. Put 2 slices of bread in the cream mixture and let it soak through, 10 to 30 seconds. Add the soaked bread to the pan and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Add another tablespoon butter to the pan, soak 2 more slices of bread in the cream mixture and cook; transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining butter, bread and cream mixture. 
  5. Top the French toast with a dollop of mascarpone, some fresh berries and a drizzle of the lemon honey.
