Low Carb, Low Sugar Baked Crème Brûlée French Toast 🌟 Baked Creme Brûlée French Toast Recipe Ingredients (Serves 8): * 12 HERO low carb Hawaiian rolls, cubed * 3 large eggs * 1/4 cup heavy cream * 3/4 cup whole milk (I used Fairlife) * 1/3 cup allulose * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract * 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional, for added depth) * 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon * 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom * Pinch of salt * 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup (optional, for drizzling) For the "Crème Brûlée" Base: * 1/4 cup butter, melted * 1/4 cup brown sugar substitute * 1 teaspoon water * Pinch of sea salt Instructions: 1. Prepare the "Crème Brûlée" Base: * In a small saucepan, combine melted butter, sweetener, water, and a pinch of salt. Cook over low heat until smooth and slightly thickened. * Pour the mixture evenly into a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish. 2. Layer the Bread: * Arrange the cubed HERO rolls over the "crème brûlée" base in the dish. 3. Make the Custard: * In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, almond milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), cinnamon, and salt. 4. Soak the Bread: * Pour the custard mixture evenly over the rolls, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the rolls to absorb the custard. 5. Bake: * Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the dish from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. * Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and the tops of the rolls are golden. 6. Serve: * Let cool slightly and serve warm. Drizzle with sugar-free maple syrup
