Rabanada (Brazilian-Style French Toast)
By: Sue L
Aug 12, 2007
This Brazilian breakfast treat is usually served around Christmastime. Being soaked overnight, it makes for a festive holiday brunch item. Cooking the toast long enough for the outside to get crispy still leaves it with a custard-like interior that melts in the mouth. This recipe comes from Chow, by Aïda Mollenkamp. I haven't tried this recipe yet, but I may try it with less oil on a griddle, and although a topping is not mentioned in the recipe, I might use chocolate syrup and whipped cream. Pretty rich, but it is holiday fare after all. nt (not tried)
SERVES 4 -6
Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet baguette or sourdough baguette
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 6 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3-4 cups vegetable oil (for frying, estimated)
Directions
1
Cut bread into 1-inch thick slices on the bias. You should get about 16 pieces. If you have more, adjust other ingredients to compensate.2
Whisk together the eggs, condensed milk, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well mixed.3
Coat bread slices on both sides in the egg mixture, and place coated bread in a shallow pan or pie plate, add any remaining egg mixture to it. Cover with press and seal wrap or foil and place in the refrigerator to soften overnight.4
Mix together sugar, cocoa and cinnamon in a small shallow bowl big enough to hold one slice bread.5
Heat oil in a deep skillet to about 2-inches until it reaches 330F (use a candy thermometer to check).6
Lift the bread from the egg mixture until it stops dripping, and pan fry the pieces in the skillet on both sides until golden and crispy. Keep the oil hot while frying (check temp), raising the heat if needed.7
As the pieces are removed from the skillet, drain on paper towels then dredge in the spicy sugar mixture.

Absolutely delicious! I used thick slices of Italian bread... this recipe made enough custard for 6 big slices.
It was super creamy (almost like bread pudding!) on the inside... sweet and crunchy on the outside. We just added a bit of powdered sugar after frying.. with a good cup of coffee - divine!
Sidenote: I had a few slices left over that I didn't fry... I just kept it in the fridge and took them out 10mins before serving dessert that night (had the family over for dinner)... I cut up the slices into "sticks" and fried them that way. Everyone asked for seconds!
YUM YUM YUM
Thank you for this recipe!

No photo, cause I didn't read the instructions carefully lol Before putting the slices in the oil, I coated them with the sugar cinnamon mixture. Error loll I saw that too late. Once they were crispy and brown, I put them on paper towel. Error again. It was stuck to it loll I was able to remove a few pieces of paper towel. It was still delicious. My baby of 2 years liked it so much. My BF also, I was surprised cause he doesn't like fried things. Thanks Lorie Made for 123 hit wonders.
