Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices sliced brioche bread
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 2 teaspoons powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
- 1 cup fresh berries (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a shallow dish or mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined and slightly frothy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and allow it to melt, covering the surface evenly.
Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Let any excess mixture drip off.
Place the coated bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary.
While the French toast is cooking, prepare the creamy maple syrup. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup and softened cream cheese. Whisk until smooth and creamy, then remove from heat.
Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with the creamy maple syrup. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar and top with fresh berries.
