Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Whole eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Disaronno liqueur
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 6 slices Thick-sliced brioche or challah bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon (for garnish, optional) Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup (for serving, optional) Maple syrup
- 1 cup (for garnish, optional) Fresh berries
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, Disaronno liqueur, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined and frothy.
Transfer the egg mixture to a shallow dish large enough to hold a slice of bread (a baking dish or pie plate works well).
Preheat a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Dip a slice of brioche or challah into the egg mixture, turning it over to ensure both sides are evenly coated. Let the excess batter drip off.
Place the soaked bread slice into the preheated skillet. Repeat with additional slices, being careful not to overcrowd the pan (cook in batches, if necessary).
Cook each slice for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter to the skillet as needed when cooking subsequent batches.
Transfer cooked slices to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking the remaining slices.
To serve, arrange slices on plates and garnish with powdered sugar, maple syrup, and fresh berries, if desired.
Enjoy your decadent Disaronno French Toast immediately!
