Fresh peaches and other fruitlike figs and or peaches
Truffled Syrup*
1cupmaple syrup
5-10gramshoney truffle (½-1 small truffle, to taste) grated or finely chopped plus 5-10 grams more for shaving to finish
Instructions
The night before, prepare the syrup and soak the bread.
For the syrup, mix the truffle and maple syrup and allow to macerate in the refrigerator.
For the custard, beat the custard ingredients together, then put in a container that will fit the bread snugly, add the bread and allow to soak overnight, turning gently if needed to saturate them.
The next day, carefully remove the bread, cook each slice on a greased griddle or nonstick pan on each side until lightly browned, then serve with whipped cream, fresh fruit like ripe peaches, and a drizzle of the honey truffle syrup and extra shaved honey truffles.
Notes
*I preferred to strain out the honey truffle pieces from the syrup to keep a clean look, but you don’t necessarily have to.
