Toast Crunch
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1/4 ounce dried chamomile or earl grey
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 4 thick slices of bakery white bread
- sugar
- brulee torch
- Warm half-and-half almost to a simmer. Turn off the heat and add chamomile or Earl Grey.
- Steep, covered, for 10 minutes, then strain.
- Sweeten with condensed milk to taste.
- Set this aside to serve with the toast.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of butter on each slice of bread.
- Toast or bake the buttered bread until the edges are lightly browned.
- Dip each piece of toast in cinnamon sugar.
- Place toast on a metal rack over a foil-covered pan so the drippings don't go crazy.
- Use a brulee torch to caramelize the sugared toast by keeping nozzle 2-3 inches away from toast and moving it across the surface of the bread. Be careful not to torch the bread where there is no sugar because it can ignite.
- Serve the bruleed toast over the milk.
