Say hello to the king (or queen) of my HKFT recipe series: Thai Tea, Salted Egg Yolk Creme Brûlée HKFT. If you follow me on the ‘gram or have closely watched this series, you know that a hard sugar topping is a signature. I typically sprinkle a bit of sugar on the top & brûlée it with my handheld torch. However, this rendition incorporates a caramel coating that encapsulates the entire stack of toast. The batter is more akin to what you would find with a creme brûlée: eggs, sugar & in place of cream or milk, you’ll find Thai tea. If you don't have thai tea, feel free to use cream for a traditional creme brulee. The recipe makes one 3 to 4 stack french toast –– it can be shared between two but quite honestly, I devour the entire thing myself. If you would like to order the special tools needed for the recipe, I've included them below –– torch: https://amzn.to/3LWket5 (https://amzn.to/3LWket5)
