French Toast Brioche

Thick-cut brioche soaked in vanilla custard, caramelized to perfection. Weekend mornings were made for this.

Ingredients

  • 4 thick slices brioche bread (about 1.5 inches)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Fresh berries, for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a shallow bowl until fully combined.

  2. 2

    Lay the brioche slices in the custard mixture and let them soak for 30 seconds per side.

    Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt until foaming.

    Place 2 soaked brioche slices in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until deep golden brown.

    Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
