Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 thick slices of brioche bread
- More granulated sugar for topping
- Fresh berries for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
- Carefully dip each slice of brioche bread into the custard mixture, coating both sides and allowing to soak for a few seconds.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, add butter, and cook the soaked brioche slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Place cooked French toast on a baking sheet, sprinkle with granulated sugar, and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until bubbly and golden brown.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best texture, reheat in a frying pan or oven, not the microwave.
- Enhance your serving with fresh berries, whipped cream, or maple syrup.
