Brioche French Toast

This easy brioche French toast recipe uses thick-sliced brioche bread dipped in a rich egg custard for a soft, buttery, and perfectly golden breakfast or brunch dish.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch salt
• 6 to 8 slices brioche bread (sliced about 1/2 inch thick)
• Powdered sugar (for serving)
• Maple syrup (for serving)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1If your brioche bread is very fresh, lightly toast the slices or leave them out for a bit to help firm them up. This helps prevent sogginess when dipping.
2. 2In a shallow dish or mixing bowl, add eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.
3. 3Heat a skillet over medium heat and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Quickly dredge one slice of brioche bread in the egg mixture, coating both sides without letting it sit too long.
4. 4Place the bread directly into the heated skillet. Because cinnamon can settle quickly into the first slice, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon directly on top of each slice after adding it to the pan to keep the flavor balanced.
5. 5Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining slices, working in batches as needed. Serve warm with powdered sugar and maple syrup.
