Brioche French Toast Recipe
A homemade french toast made with brioche bread.
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove the slices from the custard, and place them over a wire rack for 2-3 minutes to completely soak in the custard.
- Warm your skillet and melt one teaspoon of butter.
- Place the bread in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side over medium-low heat.
- Remove from heat and place over a wire rack to cool or serve.
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.
