Give brunch a sweet and spicy twist with this Thai Tea French Toast recipe, finished with sweet chili sauce!
There’s actually two different sweet chili sauces in this recipe. Lee Kum Kee Thai Style Sweet Chili Sauce seasons the custard, while Honey Sriracha Sauce is used for garnish to add the perfect blend of sweet and heat. Simple, quick, and full of flavor, this is a great recipe to save for a brunch that’s ready in just 30 minutes!
In a shallow bowl whisk together the egg, cooled Thai tea, vanilla extract, Lee Kum Kee Thai Style Sweet Chili Sauce, ground cinnamon, and star anise powder, until smooth and aromatic.
Dip each slice of brioche into the Thai tea custard mixture. Let the bread soak for 5–10 seconds per side so it absorbs the custard without getting overly soggy.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 Tbsp butter in the pan. Cook the soaked brioche slices for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp.
Place the French toast on a plate. Top with whipped cream, condensed milk, and sliced strawberries, and drizzle lightly with Lee Kum Kee Honey Sriracha Sauce for a sweet and spicy finish.
