Introduction
Brioche French toast is the ultimate breakfast treat. Rich, buttery brioche soaks up a creamy egg custard, creating a golden, delicious dish. It’s simple to make, and perfect for lazy mornings. Top with syrup, fruit, or whipped cream for extra decadence.
Ingredients
To create this decadent breakfast treat, you’ll need these specific quantities of ingredients:
Brioche bread
6 thick slices
Large eggs
eggs 4
Milk
1 ½ cups
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Cinnamon
½ teaspoon
Nutmeg
¼ teaspoon
Butter
2 tablespoons (for cooking) + extra for serving
Preparing the Custard
The first step is to create the custard that will soak into the brioche. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. The custard should be smooth and free of lumps.
Soaking the Bread
Cut the brioche bread into thick slices. Pour the custard into a shallow dish and soak the bread slices on both sides for a few minutes, or until the bread is fully saturated. Don’t worry if the custard is completely absorbed; you want the bread to be moist but not soggy.
Cooking the French Toast
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt a pat of butter in the pan. Place the soaked bread slices in the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.
There’s something undeniably comforting about savouring a plate of warm, fluffy brioche French toast.
Whether you’re enjoying it on a leisurely weekend morning.
