Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Brioche bread
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Raisins (optional)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- as needed Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of brioche bread.
If using raisins, sprinkle them evenly on four of the buttered slices and top with the remaining buttered slices to make four sandwiches (buttered sides facing out).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Dip each sandwich into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides soak up some of the custard without becoming overly soggy. Let any excess drip off.
Add a small amount of butter (about 1/2 tablespoon) to the skillet, swirling to coat the surface evenly.
Cook the sandwiches in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Work in batches if necessary and add more butter to the skillet as needed.
Once cooked, transfer the French toast sandwiches to a cutting board and allow them to cool slightly before slicing each sandwich in half diagonally.
Dust the sandwiches with powdered sugar and serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
