Transform your breakfast into a luxurious treat with this irresistible French toast made from rich brioche or challah bread. These egg-enriched breads soak up the spiced batter to create a decadent, custard-like center, while buttery cooking yields a crisp, golden crust thanks to the sugar in the mix. Infused with warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, every bite bursts with cozy flavor. Pro tip: Dip slices quicklyjust a few secondslet excess drip off, and add to the pan once the butter's bubbles settle for perfect results every time. You'll be hooked after one heavenly stack!
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 slices of challah, brioche, or white bread
- 1/2 cup maple syrup, warmed
Instructions
- Mix together the cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar in a small bowl and set aside for a moment.
- Melt the butter in a 10 or 12-inch skillet over medium heat. In a shallow dish like a pie plate, whisk the spice mixture along with the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture briefly, then allow any extra batter to drip off.
- Cook the soaked bread slices until they turn golden brown on one side, then flip and cook the other side to the same color. Serve immediately with warmed maple syrup.
