Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 thick slices brioche or challah
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch fine sea salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Toss sliced strawberries with 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp lemon juice in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. Whisk 2 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a shallow dish. Dip each bread slice, pressing briefly on both sides.
  3. Melt 1 tbsp butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook bread in batches, about 3 minutes per side, until deep golden. Add remaining butter between batches.
  4. Plate the French toast and spoon the macerated strawberries over each serving. Serve immediately.

Notes

For the best custardy centers, use thick slices of day-old brioche. The strawberries release more juice the longer they sit, so let them macerate for at least 10 minutes while you cook the toast. Reheat any leftover slices in a toaster to bring back the crisp edges.
