Ingredients

• 4 slices of brioche bread (thick-cut)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1 tbsp butter (for frying)
• Maple syrup, for serving
• Fresh berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar (optional)

Equipment

• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Non-stick skillet or griddle
• Spatula
• Knife and cutting board

Instructions

1. Prepare the Custard Mixture:
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or cream), sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) until well combined.

2. Heat the Skillet:
Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to coat the surface evenly.

3. Soak the Brioche:
Dip each slice of brioche into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not soaked too long. The rich brioche will absorb the custard mixture quickly.

4. Cook the French Toast:
Place the soaked brioche slices in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more butter to the skillet if needed between batches.

5. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the French toast immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.

Tips

• Customize the Toppings: For extra flavor, top with caramelized bananas, a dusting of cinnamon sugar, or a dollop of mascarpone.
• Make It Lighter: Use skim milk or almond milk instead of whole milk or cream for a lighter version.
• Keep It Warm: To keep the French toast warm while cooking in batches, place the finished pieces on a baking sheet in a warm oven (around 200°F/93°C).

Serving Suggestions

Pair with crispy bacon, sausage, or a side of fresh fruit for a complete breakfast spread.

This Brioche French Toast is an indulgent, satisfying breakfast that’s easy to make and perfect for any occasion. With its rich flavor and texture, it’s a dish that will delight your taste buds and keep you coming back for more!
