Brioche French Toast Ingredients

This easy brioche French toast recipe comes together quickly using just a handful of ingredients!

• Brioche Bread – One-inch slices work best!
• Eggs And Egg Yolk – Adds the necessary fats to create richness and hold in the flavors!
• Half & Half – Could also use milk or a milk alternative.
• Granulated Sugar – Used to add in a little more sweetness!
• Vanilla Extract – Brings in another dimension of delicious flavor!
• Salt – This helps to balance out all of the sweetness!
• Cinnamon Or Nutmeg – The warm, cozy flavors we all love! Both are optional additions to this recipe that can be added to the egg wash.

The best part of anything is always the toppings! Grab butter, maple syrup, and fresh fruit to top this cinnamon french toast with!

French Toast Bread

There’s a lot of different bread options when it comes to making French toast, and really any bread would work! Regardless of which type of bread you choose to use, one of the most important parts is making sure each bread slice is about an inch thick.

• For this recipe, I recommend brioche bread. You can easily buy it at the store or make Homemade Brioche!
• You can also use Challah Bread. It’s a close relative to brioche bread, both are enriched yeast bread!
• French Baguette is another option that’s denser, making for a chewier french toast.
• Texas toast is another great choice due to its thickness!
• White bread or anything you have on hand will also work! Just keep in mind it will yield a different taste at the end!

How To Make Brioche French Toast

1. Beat the eggs and yolk together and then add in the half and half, vanilla extract, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
2. Dip each slice of brioche in the egg mixture, making sure to coat each side.
3. Cook the slices on your preheated griddle for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
4. Serve warm off the griddle with your favorite toppings!

How To Store Leftover French Toast

If you have any leftover French toast, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat it, you can just put the slices on a plate and microwave it!

Keep Your Stacks Warm!

When making up a large batch, you’ll want to keep your French toast warm when its not on the griddle or in the skillet. To do so place the cooked slices on a baking sheet and place them in a heated oven.

Do I Have To Cook This On A Griddle?

No, you can also cook the French toast in a skillet over medium heat!
