Ingredients

• 8 slices Thick-cut brioche or challah bread
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0 as needed Maple syrup
• 0 for garnish Powdered sugar
• 0 optional, for serving Fresh berries

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, such as a pie 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 bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well-coated but not overly soaked.

Step 5

Place the coated bread slice onto the preheated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 6

Once cooked, transfer the French toast slices to a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process until all slices are cooked.

Step 7

Serve the French toast warm, topped with a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and fresh berries if desired.
