Brioche French Toast

Ingredients

Custard

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Bread & Cooking

  • 1 loaf brioche, cut into 1-inch slices
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Maple syrup, fresh berries

Instructions

1

Whisk Custard

In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, and cinnamon until well combined.

2

Soak

Dip each brioche slice into the custard, letting it soak for about 30-60 seconds per side so the bread absorbs the liquid all the way through.

3

Griddle

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the soaked bread slices for 3-4 minutes per side until deep golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.

4

Serve

Serve warm with a generous drizzle of maple syrup and a handful of fresh seasonal berries.
