Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 thick slices brioche or challah
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅔ cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch fine sea salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Method
 

  1. Whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt in a shallow bowl until smooth.
  2. Soak each bread slice for 20–30 seconds per side, then let excess drip off.
  3. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry slices in batches for 3–4 minutes per side until deep golden and crisp.
  4. Serve immediately with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries.

Notes

If your bread is very fresh, let the slices sit out on a rack for 20 minutes before dipping so they dry out a bit. You can also swap whole milk for half-and-half for a richer custard. The nutrition values below are for the French toast alone before any toppings.
