Introduction:
Upgrade your weekend brunch with the most decadent French Toast you’ve ever tasted. By using thick-cut Brioche bread, we achieve a buttery, custard-like interior with perfectly crisp, golden edges. Topped with fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a drizzle of maple syrup, this recipe transforms a simple breakfast into a gourmet experience right in your own kitchen!
Ingredients
The Bread: 1 loaf of Brioche bread (thickly sliced, about 1-inch thick).
The Custard: 3 large eggs, ¾ cup heavy cream (or whole milk), and 2 tbsp sugar.
Flavor: 1 tsp vanilla extract, ½ tsp ground cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg.
For Cooking: 2 tbsp unsalted butter.
Toppings: Fresh raspberries, blueberries, powdered sugar, and high-quality maple syrup.
Instructions
Prep the Bread: For the best results, use bread that is slightly stale. If it’s fresh, leave the slices out for an hour or lightly toast them in a low oven for 5 minutes.
Whisk the Custard: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
The Soak: Dip each slice of brioche into the custard mixture for about 10-15 seconds per side. You want the bread to soak up the liquid without becoming soggy or falling apart.
The Sizzle: Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Cook to Gold: Place the soaked bread in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until they are deep golden brown and the edges are slightly crispy.
The Garnish: Stack the warm French toast on a plate. Top with fresh berries, a generous dusting of powdered sugar, and plenty of maple syrup as seen in the photo.
