Description
A decadent and comforting breakfast classic with custardy brioche, drizzled with maple syrup, and topped with fresh berries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of brioche or challah bread (slightly stale works best)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or your preferred alternative)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a shallow bowl until well combined.
- Dip the bread: Immerse each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are fully coated without becoming too soggy.
- Cook to perfection: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a pat of butter. Once melted, add the bread slices and cook until each side is golden-brown (about 2–3 minutes per side).
- Serve hot: Plate the French toast immediately, ready to be dressed with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For extra crispiness, sprinkle granulated sugar on the bread as it cooks to create a caramelized crust.
