Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For Cooking
- 8 slices Brioche bread approximately 1-inch thick
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a large, shallow baking dish, vigorously whisk together the 4 large eggs, 1 cup of whole milk, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform in color.
- Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
- Dip one slice of Brioche bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 20-30 seconds per side until the bread is fully saturated but not falling apart.
- Place the soaked bread slice onto the preheated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.
- Carefully flip the French toast with a spatula and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until it is also golden brown and the center is cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked French toast to a baking sheet and keep warm in a 200°F oven. Repeat the dipping and cooking process with the remaining bread slices, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.
Notes
Let the bread soak fully for the best texture, but not so long it falls apart.
