Ingredients

• 8 slices Thick-cut brioche bread
• 4 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cups Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 1 cup Fresh berries (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sugar, and salt until fully combined.

Step 2

Pour the custard mixture into a shallow dish or baking pan to make dipping the bread easier.

Step 3

Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.

Step 4

Dip one slice of brioche bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are soaked but not too saturated. Shake off any excess custard.

Step 5

Carefully place the soaked bread slice onto the preheated skillet or griddle. Repeat for as many slices as can comfortably fit without overcrowding.

Step 6

Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as necessary to avoid burning.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked French Toast to a warm plate or a baking sheet in an oven set to low heat (200°F/95°C) to keep warm while you cook the remaining slices.

Step 8

Repeat the dipping and cooking process, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan as needed.

Step 9

Once all the slices are cooked, arrange the French Toast on a large serving platter and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh berries, or your favorite toppings on the side for a family-style presentation.
