Classic Brioche French Toast

Ingredients

• 8 thick slices of day-old Brioche or Challah bread
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• Butter for the pan
• Maple syrup and powdered sugar for serving

Instructions

1. In a wide, shallow dish (like a pie plate), whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until completely blended.
2. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
3. Dip a slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds on each side. Lift up and let excess drip off.
4. Place soaked bread onto hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until beautifully golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges. Repeat for all slices, serving hot with syrup.
