Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Thick-cut brioche or challah bread
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- as needed Maple syrup
- for garnish Powdered sugar
- optional, for serving Fresh berries
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, such as a pie pan, to make dipping the bread easier.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well-coated but not overly soaked.
Place the coated bread slice onto the preheated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Once cooked, transfer the French toast slices to a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process until all slices are cooked.
Serve the French toast warm, topped with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and fresh berries if desired.
