Description

Indulge in this French Toast Delight, a classic breakfast favorite that’s perfect for a leisurely morning treat. Thick brioche or challah bread slices are soaked in a rich custard, cooked until golden, and served with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, and fresh berries for a touch of freshness.


Ingredients

Brioche Toast:

  • 6 slices thick-cut brioche or challah bread

Custard:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Additional:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for frying)
  • powdered sugar (for garnish)
  • maple syrup (for serving)
  • fresh berries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  2. Cook French Toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Dip bread slices into the custard, cook on the skillet until golden brown on each side.
  3. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with fresh berries if desired.

Notes

  • Stale bread works best for French toast to prevent sogginess.
  • For a twist, add orange zest or a splash of liqueur like Grand Marnier to the custard.
