Brioche French toast

The great classic of indulgent breakfasts: slices of brioche richly soaked in an egg and milk batter, browned in butter for a soft center and a caramelized crust.

Ingredients

  • 8 slices Brioche
  • 250 ml Whole milk
  • 3 pieces Egg
  • 2 tsp Vanilla sugar
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 50 g Unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp Powdered sugar
  • to taste Maple syrup

Method

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla sugar and brown sugar until smooth and slightly frothy.
  2. Dip the brioche slices in this batter, flipping them carefully until perfectly soaked but without falling apart.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a pat of butter, letting it melt until it begins to foam slightly.
  4. Place the soaked slices in the skillet and brown them on each side until you get a beautiful caramelized and crispy crust.
  5. Remove the slices from the skillet and place them on a serving plate.
  6. Repeat the process with the remaining slices, adding fresh butter to the skillet between each batch to prevent the sugar from burning.
  7. Dust evenly with powdered sugar for a touch of sweet crunch.
  8. Serve immediately, accompanied by a drizzle of maple syrup poured generously over the still-warm slices.
