French Toast Recipe
A classic breakfast dish made with brioche bread soaked in a creamy custard, resulting in a rich and flavorful delight perfect for any brunch.
Ingredients
- 8 oz Brioche Bread
- 4 large Eggs
- ¼ cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon Optional,
- a pinch Salt
Instructions
- Slice the Brioche loaf into thick slices, approximately 1 inch thick.
- In a deep, wide bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, brown sugar, cinnamon (if using), and salt until the mixture is smooth. Set aside.
- Preheat a large pan over medium to medium-low heat, adding a bit of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Dip each slice of brioche into the egg mixture for about 15 seconds, ensuring it's thoroughly coated without falling apart.
- Place the soaked slices into the preheated pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn a delightful golden brown.
- Continue with the remaining slices, following the same process for each.
- Serve the French toast warm, adding maple syrup, powdered sugar, or your favorite toppings to elevate the dish.
Notes
- Use bread slices that are about 1 inch thick to absorb the egg mixture without becoming soggy.
- For extra flavor, try adding nutmeg or orange zest.
- Serve hot for the best texture.
- Leftovers can be reheated in a toaster or oven.
