Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-cut brioche or challah bread
- 3 Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- 1 cup Fresh berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the custard mixture into a shallow dish such as a large pie pan to make dipping easier.
Preheat a 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 at a time into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly soaked but not overly saturated (about 5 seconds per side).
Place the soaked bread onto the heated skillet or griddle. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown and crisp. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
As each batch is finished, transfer the cooked French toast slices to a warm plate and cover lightly with foil to keep warm.
Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining slices of bread, adding additional butter to the skillet as needed.
To serve, plate the French toast and top with powdered sugar, maple syrup, and berries as desired. Enjoy your Ooh La La French Toast immediately!
