Description
A luxurious and custardy twist on classic French toast, made with brioche for an unforgettable breakfast experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk (or 1/2 cup cream + 1/4 cup milk)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of fine salt
- 6 slices brioche, 3/4″ thick
- Butter or neutral oil for the pan
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk/cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
- If brioche is fresh, dry slices slightly on a baking sheet in a 250°F (120°C) oven for 10 minutes.
- Soak the slices in the custard for 15–30 seconds for a light custard or 3–5 minutes for a deeper soak.
- Heat a pan over medium-low, add butter, and cook slices for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Finish in the oven at 350°F (175°C) if needed, for 5–10 minutes.
- Dust with powdered sugar, maple syrup, or compote for serving.
Notes
For a richer custard, consider adding extra yolks. Use slightly stale brioche for better absorption.
