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
- Prepare Custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- 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.
- 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.
