Ingredients

Units Scale

Brioche French Toast:

  • 6 slices thick-cut brioche or challah bread
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
  • maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh berries for serving

Instructions

  1. Custard Preparation: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, sugars, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  2. Cooking French Toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat, coat with butter. Dip bread slices in custard mixture, soak, then cook each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining slices.
  3. Serving: Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh berries.

Notes

  • Day-old or slightly stale bread works best for soaking up the custard.
  • For a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of milk.
