Chef notes
This is an easy crowd-pleaser to make ahead of any at-home gathering. The guava crème anglaise is the perfect topping for the French toast. This dish reminds me of growing up in a small country town in a Dominican home where my family would make French toast with tropical fruit on Sundays.
Technique tip: Once you sear the French toast with butter or nonstick spray, place into oven at 350 F until inside is completely cooked. Exterior should be golden brown.
Swap option: If you feel the crème anglaise is a bit challenging, beautiful maple syrup will do the job. Also, for the fruit toppings, add what’s in season and fresh at the farmers market.
