Equipment

Kitchen Scale (optional)

Ingredients

3 cups frozen strawberries 450 grams
¼ cup granulated sugar 50 grams
3 large eggs 150 grams
1½ cups vanilla almond milk 341 grams
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 grams (or almond extract)
8 slices brioche bread
1 cup finely chopped almonds 114 grams
2 tablespoons unsalted dairy-free margarine 28 grams, such as Smart Balance

Instructions

Combine the strawberries and sugar in a medium saucepan and add ½ cup water. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer, stirring and crushing strawberries against the sides of the saucepan while cooking. Allow to simmer until thickened to your liking, around 15 minutes.
3 cups frozen strawberries, ¼ cup granulated sugar
While sauce is cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk, and extract together in a large baking dish.
3 large eggs, 1½ cups vanilla almond milk, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dip each piece of bread fully in the egg mixture, and then press both sides into the chopped almonds, pressing to coat as much as possible. Set aside until ready to make your french toast.
8 slices brioche bread, 1 cup finely chopped almonds
When ready to begin, heat a griddle over medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon margarine.
2 tablespoons unsalted dairy-free margarine
Add four slices of bread to the griddle and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes. Flip to cook the other side until browned.
Transfer to a plate and cook the remaining 4 slices.
Serve topped with the roasted strawberry syrup.
