Denji's Toast: Inspired by Chainsaw Man (gluten free)
Inspired by Chainsaw Man, I’m making Denji's ultimate breakfast toast! Starting with the original chaotic version and then my own French toast version. Using a simple custard base and topping with 2 jams, we channel Denji's excited destructive energy while enjoying a sweet and easy brunch. Which would you try?
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 3 Tbsp milk I use unsweetened soy
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- dash of nutmeg
- 1 tsp cinnamon plus more for topping
- pinch of salt
- 6 slices bread - brioche is ideal gluten free if necessary
- unsalted butter
- assorted jams strawberry, plum (or ume), orange marmalade
Instructions
- In a small casserole dish, whisk eggs together. Then add milk, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk again until smooth.
- Cut bread into thirds so you have fingers. Soak a slice of bread in egg milk mixture for a few seconds on each side. You don't want your bread to get too soggy but you want it saturated
- Grease a frying pan with spray or butter, add slices of your soaked bread and fry on both sides until golden.
- When the french toast is cooked, remove from the heat and top ith desired toppings. I like mixing adding both the strawberry jam and orange marmalade, a bit of butter and cinnamon on top.
- If you are channeling Denji's chaos then top with as much of everything as you'd like! Don't forget to make a mess!
