Ingredients
- 1 loaf stale brioche bread
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cup milk
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- vegetable oil
For Topping:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
For Syrup:
- 4 cups water
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 5 black peppercorns
- ¼ tsp ginger
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 2 cups brown sugar
Instructions
- Slice the bread into thick slices. If your bread isn’t stale, you can always slice it and toast it until it is drier for the same effect.
- In a large bowl or a baking dish with a high lip add the eggs, vanilla, milk, and ½ tsp of cinnamon. Whisk together until completely mixed.
- In a large skillet over medium heat add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- While waiting for the oil to heat, place the bread in the egg mixture. Make sure to turn each piece so they can soak evenly.
- Once the oil is hot, place the soaked bread slices into the pan, leaving just enough room to flip them.
- Cook each side of the bread for about 3-5 minutes or until each side is crisp and golden.
- Repeat for any remaining bread and add a little more oil to the pan if needed. Place finished bread on a cooling rack or paper towels to absorb extra oil.
- To make a dry topping, in a small bowl mix the sugar and cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar across the fried bread.
- To make the syrup topping, use a small sauce pan and add in the water, cinnamon, peppercorn, ginger, nutmeg, and sugar. Stir.
- Put the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil before turning the heat to low.
- Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes or until all the sugar has dissolved and the mixture becomes thicker. Make sure to keep a close eye on it though, as it can easily burn.
- Remove from heat and let it cool a bit before pouring over the toast. The syrup will get thicker as it cools.
- Spoon or pour the syrup over the toast and serve warm.
