Brioche French Toast

This brioche French toast recipe uses a rich egg batter blended with milk, heavy cream, flour, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt, creating a thick coating for slices of brioche bread. The bread is dipped and pan-fried to a golden brown, resulting in slices with a tender interior and a lightly crisp exterior. It's served warm with syrup and powdered sugar for classic breakfast or brunch.

Description

The preparation of Brioche French Toast begins with mixing eggs, milk, heavy cream, flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla to form a batter that clings well to the bread. Brioche bread slices are dipped thoroughly in the mixture, soaking up the flavorful custard-like coating. Cooking on a buttered griddle or skillet over medium heat produces a golden crust while maintaining a soft interior due to the brioche's rich crumb.

This French toast offers balanced sweetness from sugar and vanilla, with a subtle hint of cinnamon, complemented by the natural richness of brioche. The flour in the batter helps create structure, preventing sogginess and contributing to a satisfying texture. Cooking time is monitored until the surfaces of the bread are nicely browned on both sides.

The recipe suggests serving the French toast warm topped with syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness. The brioche’s buttery qualities absorb the batter well, making the final dish tender and flavorful. Leftover French toast can be frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to three months, allowing for easy reheating and serving later.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 8 lices brioche bread

Instructions

  1. Preheat griddle to 350 degrees F or heat a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Make batter: Add all ingredients, except the bread, to a blender or to a shallow dish and whisk well to combine. If whisking by hand, it's okay if the flour doesn't mix to be completely smooth.
  3. Cook: Grease griddle with butter. Dip bread slices into the egg mixture, dredging them well on both sides, and place on hot pan. Cook for a few minutes, until the bottom of the breads starts to get golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side the same.
  4. Serve warm with syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
