Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Griddle or Non-Stick Skillet
- Spatula
- Serving plates
Ingredients
- 1 loaf brioche bread thickly sliced
- 5 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Begin by cracking the 5 large eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until well combined and smooth.
- Take your thickly sliced brioche bread and dunk each slice into the custard mixture. Allow it to soak for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Place your griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a generous amount of butter. Let it melt and start bubbling.
- Once the butter is hot, carefully place the soaked brioche slices onto the griddle. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once cooked, transfer the French toast to serving plates. Top with your favorite accompaniments.
Notes
- For a vegan option, use flax eggs and coconut milk instead of eggs and heavy cream.
- This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, place slices in a toaster or on a skillet until heated through.
