Indulge in the rich flavors of classic French toast, featuring thick slices of brioche soaked in a creamy custard and cooked until golden brown.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 thick slices of brioche (challah or white bread)
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¾ cup whole milk (or half-and-half for creamier texture)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream (optional for extra richness)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for frying)
  • Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the custard mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
  2. Soak the bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture for about 15–20 seconds per side until fully coated but not soggy.
  3. Heat the pan: Melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  4. Cook the toast: Place the soaked bread on the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
  5. Serve warm: Transfer the French toast to a plate, top with maple syrup, fruits, or a dusting of powdered sugar, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use day-old bread. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
