Course Breakfast
Cuisine American
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 12 slices

Ingredients

  • 10-12 1/2-inch Brioche bread slices
  • 3/4 Cup Whole milk (180ml)
  • 1/4 Cup Heavy cream (60ml)
  • 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (30ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoom salt
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 Stick Butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. The night before: Mix the milk, heavy cream, salt, maple syrup, cinnamon sticks, vanilla extract, and eggs in a large bowl and place in the refrigerator overnight.

  2. Line the brioche bread over a wire rack, over a baking sheet, and toast in the oven at 250F, for 20 minutes. If the bread is dry, you can skip this step.

  3. Remove the custard from the refrigerator and pour it into a wide plate (like a pie dish). Dip two-three slices in the custard and soak for 30 seconds on each side.

  4. Remove the slices from the custard, and place them over a wire rack for 2-3 minutes to completely soak in the custard.

  5. Warm your skillet and melt one teaspoon of butter.

  6. Place the bread in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side over medium-low heat.

  7. Remove from heat and place over a wire rack to cool or serve.

Recipe Notes

  • You can skip making the custard the night before; remember not to add the cinnamon sticks.
  • You can use honey instead of maple syrup.
  • Use a paper towel to wipe the skillet between each slice.
  • You can freeze leftovers in a freezer bag for up to three weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Bake the F.toasts at 350F (180C) for 12 minutes on each side. 
  • Use regular bread or challah instead of brioche bread.
