Equipment
- 1 pancake griddle or cast iron skillet
- 1 glass bowl medium
- 1 measuring cup
- ½ teaspoon
- 1 spatula
Ingredients
- 1 loaf brioche bread cut into 1" slices
- 6 eggs large
- 1½ cups milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat a pancake griddle or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. If using a griddle, set it to 350-375 degrees F.
- In a medium glass bowl, whisk up all of the ingredients except for the brioche bread.
- One slice at a time, dunk your brioche and turn over to coat the other side. Make sure the edges are coated in the batter also.
- Lay your battered brioche on the hot griddle and set your timer for 4 minutes. Let the brioche cook and then flip. Cook on the other side for another 4 minutes.
- Remove the French toast, add a pat of butter, maple syrup, or powdered sugar to the top and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure you take off the paper on the bottom of the brioche slices before making the French toast.
- It's helpful to mix the egg custard in a shallow dish. This allows you to be able to dunk several bread slices at the same time.
- For a richer French toast, melted butter in the skillet helps to make it taste even better.
- Make sure you buy pre-sliced brioche bread to make it easier to prepare the French toast.
- You can make the egg mixture the day before to save time.
- Day old or slightly stale bread works best as it soaks up the egg mixture better.
