Crispy French Toast with Custard Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   On the top part of a double boiler, off the heat, beat the egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the milk, vanilla seeds and the vanilla bean.

2. 2

   Over a pan of simmering water (the water should not touch the top pan), cook the mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it coats the back of the spoon. Remove from the double boiler and let cool. Remove and compost the vanilla bean. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the custard. Let cool, then refrigerate until completely chilled.
