Some mornings call for slowness.
For letting the butter melt fully, for waiting until the caramel turns just the right shade of amber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This miso caramel french toast is sweet, savory, and deeply comforting \u2014 brioche soaked in vanilla custard, pan-fried until golden, then finished with a warm miso caramel that\u2019s rich without being heavy. The whipped topping is light, barely sweet, and folded with just enough caramel to make each bite feel intentional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the kind of breakfast you make when you want to linger at the table a little longer. Best shared, but just as good kept to yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n
