Ingredients
-
4 Slices of Brioche Bread
-
½ Cup Half and Half
-
2 Eggs
-
1 ½ Tsp Vanilla Extract
-
1 Tsp Cinnamon
-
1 Orange (You’ll be using this orange to make ½ tsp of ZEST and squeezing 2 oz of juice)
-
1 Tsp Sugar
-
2 Tsp Butter
-
4 Tbs Ricotta Cheese
-
1 ½ Tsp Honey
-
½ Tsp Agave
-
Mint (For Garnish)
-
Your Choice of Berries (For Garnish)
-
1 Tsp Powdered Sugar
-
4 Tsp El Corazon
Directions
For the Batter
In a mixing bowl, using a fork or whisk, combine the half and half and eggs
Then add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, ½ tsp orange zest, 2 oz of squeezed orange juice and sugar and whisk to combine well.
The Cooking Part
In a pan over medium heat, add ½ tsp of butter and melt to coat the pan.
Then take a slice of brioche and put it in the batter bowl. Give the slice a couple turns in the bowl so that the batter soaks into the bread.
Place the soaked slice in the pan. It’ll need about a minute on the one side. Move it a bit with your spatula from time to time to ensure it’s cooking evenly.
*Helpful hint, before you flip it drizzle just a bit more batter on that top side. The batter dries out and won’t have as much on it when you turn it over.
Flip and cook for about another minute on the other side. Remove from heat and place on whatever you’re serving on.
Repeat this process for the other slices. Starting with ½ tsp butter in the pan for each new slice.
For the Ricotta Whip
In a mixing bowl place the ricotta, ½ tsp honey and the agave. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
Oooh Now We Plate
Cut the brioche slices diagonally and put them on a serving platter
Distribute the ricotta whip so that each slice has a dollop
Drizzle some El Corazon on top of each dollop of whip and then just drizzle the rest of it all over
Add a sprig of mint on each dollop and garnish throughout with berries
Sprinkle powdered sugar on top, distributing it throughout
Drizzle all over with 1 tsp of honey
Recipe Note
Maybe serve with a small side of honey and a small side of agave. The sweetness from these are MEANT to be with El Corazon.
