Notes
- Whole milk - Whole milk helps to give you rich, creamy French toast.
- Heavy cream - You can use additional whole milk or half-and-half in place of the cream.
- Large egg yolks - The egg yolks help to make the French toast rich.
- Granulated sugar - A little bit of sugar helps the French toast flavor and helps it to caramelize.
- Ground cinnamon - Feel free to adjust the amount to taste.
- Salt - A couple of pinches of salt help to balance out the flavor in the egg mixture.
- Loaf of brioche bread - I've listed some substitutions for the brioche bread below.
