This Brioche French Toast recipe transforms thick-cut brioche slices into a decadent breakfast treat. Soaked briefly in a cinnamon and vanilla egg custard, then griddled to golden perfection, these French toasts are fluffy on the inside with a crisp, buttery crust. Topped with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and whipped cream, it’s a classic indulgence perfect for weekend brunch or a cozy morning at home.

Ingredients

Scale

For the French Toast

  • 8 slices thick cut brioche (regular or flavored varieties)
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • Butter or nonstick spray for the griddle

For Serving

  • Butter
  • Maple syrup
  • Powdered sugar
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the custard mixture: In a large bowl or glass measuring pitcher, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until fully combined. This flavorful custard will soak into the brioche to give it a rich texture.
  2. Preheat the griddle: Heat your griddle over medium to medium-high heat to ensure it’s hot enough to cook the bread evenly and create a golden crust but not so hot that it burns.
  3. Soak the brioche slices: Pour the egg mixture into a shallow, wide dish for easy dipping. Briefly dip each slice of brioche into the custard, allowing it to absorb some but not so long that it becomes heavy and risks falling apart when cooking.
  4. Cook the French toast: Grease the griddle with butter or nonstick spray. Place the soaked brioche slices on the griddle and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until each slice is browned and has a crisp golden crust.
  5. Serve with toppings: Remove the French toast to plates and garnish with butter, maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a dollop of whipped cream for a classic finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use thick slices of brioche for best results; thinner slices may become soggy quickly.
  • Do not soak the bread too long in the egg mixture to prevent it from falling apart.
  • Adjust the cinnamon and vanilla extract to your preference for more or less spice and aroma.
  • The griddle temperature is important to achieve a golden crust without burning.
  • Feel free to add fresh fruits like berries or sliced bananas as additional toppings.
