Michigan French Toast Sandwich Recipe by Gordon Ramsay
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar, divided
- About ¼ cup heavy cream, divided
- 2 small red apples, cores removed and chopped into large pieces
- Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon apple cognac
- 3 thick slices white sandwich bread
- Olive oil
- Thimbleberry jam
- 1 ½ tablespoons crème fraîche
Instructions
- Heat up two large nonstick skillets over medium-high heat.
- In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until smooth. Gradually whisk in about 1 ½ tablespoons of sugar, followed by the heavy cream, until fully combined. Set this aside for now.
- In one skillet, sprinkle the remaining sugar and let it sit undisturbed until it begins to caramelize. Toss in the apple slices along with a tablespoon of butter, stirring to coat the fruit evenly.
- Pour the apple cognac over the apples, then add another tablespoon of heavy cream. Let the mixture come to a gentle boil, allowing the flavors to meld together.

While the apples cook, quickly dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring they are coated but not soggy.
In the second skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter. Once melted, place the coated bread slices in the pan and allow them to brown. Add a few teaspoons of butter around the edges to enhance the flavor. Flip each slice carefully—just once—to brown the other side, then remove from heat.
When the apples have absorbed the cream and taken on a soft, jammy texture, take them off the heat as well.
To assemble, spread a generous layer of thimbleberry jam on one slice of bread. Add a few spoonfuls of caramelized apples on top. Stack another slice of bread, repeat the layering, and finish with a third slice. Top the stack with a dollop of crème fraîche, a bit of thimbleberry jam, and scatter any leftover apples around the plate. Serve and enjoy!
