Description
This French Toast offers irresistible flavor with simple prep. Made with fresh ingredients like eggs and brioche, it’s a perfect comfort food for any breakfast lover.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 8 slices day-old brioche or texas toast (about ¾–1″ thick)
- equal parts butter and neutral oil, for cooking
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
- Quickly dip each slice of brioche or Texas toast in the custard, coating both sides. For thicker slices, let them soak slightly longer until moistened through but not soggy.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a knob of butter. Cook the bread for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Lower heat if browning too quickly.
- Transfer cooked slices to a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you finish the batch.
- Enjoy warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or any of your favorite toppings.
Notes
Using day-old bread helps it absorb the custard better without becoming soggy.
Feel free to experiment with toppings like fruits, nuts, or whipped cream for added flavor.
