Brioche French Toast (Light and Decadent)

Ingredients

• 4 slices thick brioche bread - preferably day old or stale
• 2 eggs
• 2/3 cup milk of choice - I've used almond milk
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2-3 teaspoons coconut oil for frying - or preferred oil/butter
• Pinch of salt
• Fresh fruit such as sliced bananas and berries
• Drizzle of maple syrup or honey

Instructions

1. 1

   In a deep bowl, crack in the eggs and whisk together

2. 2

   Add the milk, maple syrup, cinnamon and a pinch of salt and whisk to combine

3. 3

   One by one, dip the brioche slices into the egg mixture until fully submerged for about 2-3 seconds to allow them to soak the mixture, then place on a plate

4. 4

   Repeat the above step with the remaining brioche slices

5. 5

   Heat the oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Place in the soaked brioche slices, ensuring they aren't touching each other

6. 6

   Cook for 2-3 minutes, then lift one of the corners with a spatula to check the color. Once brown and golden, gently flip over

7. 7

   Cook the second side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and they're ready to plate up! Serve with fresh fruit or berries with an optional drizzle of maple syrup and enjoy your delicious brioche french toast!
