Crème Brûlée French Toast
"Editor's Note: This recipe was requested by a Gourmet reader who stayed at the Inn at Sunrise Point in Camden, Maine, and wrote: "Innkeepers Rich and Jackie Diehl's signature breakfast dish was a fabulous créme brûlée French toast, which we would love to make at home." Although the Diehls use large slices from a round loaf of bread and remove the crust, we also tried the recipe with a baguette, leaving the crust on, and found it just as delicious. At La Maison, challah is often the bread of choice...."
