Servings 4 people
The Best Brioche French Toast is soaked in a rich and creamy egg wash, then cooked to a mouth-watering golden brown! A sweet breakfast option the whole family will be excited to see in the morning!
Ingredients
- 1 (16 oz.) loaf brioche bread 1-inch slices
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- ⅔ cup half & half
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- salted butter for serving
- maple syrup for serving
- fruit for serving
Instructions
- Preheat a griddle to 275°F.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and yolk. Add the half and half, vanilla extract, sugar, salt, and cinnamon and whisk until fully incorporated with the eggs.
- Place a slice of brioche face down in the bowl, then flip, covering both sides of the bread with the egg mixture. Repeat with the other slices.
- Place the brioche slices on your preheated griddle and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown, then flip and repeat on the other side.
- Remove from the griddle and serve warm with syrup, fruit, powdered sugar, or your favorite topping.
Notes
- Most store-bought brioche loaves have about 8 slices in them, so a serving is 2 slices per person.
- Homemade brioche could also be used or this recipe also works with Challah, French bread, white bread, and Texas toast. I find that 1 to 1½-inch thick slices work best
- A ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg can also be added to the egg wash.
