Cooking Steps
1
- Cut pound cake into six 1-inch slices.
- Zest, then juice lemon.
- Whisk together eggs, 3 tbsp milk and 1/8 tsp salt in a large bowl.
2
- Heat a small pot over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp butter, then swirl the pot until melted. Add blueberry jam, maple syrup, thyme sprigs and 1 tbsp lemon juice.
- Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, 2-3 min.
- Remove the pot from heat.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate.
3
- Heat the same pan over medium.
- While the pan heats, carefully place pound cake slices in egg mixture one by one. (TIP: Let pound cake sit in the egg mixture for 5-10 seconds to allow it to soak up egg mixture!)
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp butter, then swirl the pan until melted
- Add pound cake slices. Cook until golden-brown, 2-3 min per side. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook French toast in batches if necessary, using 1 tbsp butter per batch. Carefully wipe the pan clean between batches.)
- Remove the pan from heat.
4
- Add cream and lemon zest to a large bowl. Using a hand whisk or electric mixer, beat until stiff peaks form, 1-2 min.
