5. Slowly pour the mixture over the bread, trying to cover all the pieces of the bread with the milk mixture.

This would also be amazing served with sauces other than vanilla or simply homemade whipped cream. For coffee lovers, you can try caramel sauce. 🙂 I’m sharing my vanilla sauce recipe if you prefer to make your own sauce like I do!

• ½ c brown sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

2. When milk begins to simmer, add cornstarch, brown sugar, and egg yolks to the remaining cup of milk. Beat/mix well.
3. Ladle a portion of the heated milk into the brown sugar milk to heat it slightly and temper the eggs.
4. Slowly pour the brown sugar milk into the heated milk, whisking the entire time.
5. Keep stirring while the milk comes to temperature and begins to thicken.

If the sauce is a bit frothy, add a small pat of butter. This will reduce the foam.
