Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices thick-sliced brioche or challah bread
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- to taste maple syrup
- to taste powdered sugar (optional)
- to garnish fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined and smooth.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, wide enough to fit the slices of bread.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt and coat the surface.
Dip one slice of brioche or challah bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 10 seconds on each side. Ensure the bread is fully coated but not overly saturated.
Place the soaked bread onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the skillet as necessary.
Once all slices are cooked, transfer them to serving plates. Drizzle with warm maple syrup, dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with fresh berries if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Normaway French Toast!
