What is French Toast Recipe Brioch ?
French toast recipe brioch is an excellent way to transform leftover, slightly stale bread into a luxurious weekend breakfast treat. Much like bread pudding, it’s made by briefly soaking thick slices of bread in a mixture of eggs, sugar, milk, and cinnamon, then cooking them to perfection in a skillet. The result is a dish that’s golden brown and crispy on the outside, soft and custardy on the inside, with a light hint of cinnamon and just the right touch of sweetness.
What to Serve with French Toast Recipe Brioch ?
French toast recipe brioch is traditionally served with melted butter and a drizzle of maple syrup, but it pairs wonderfully with a wide range of other toppings! Experiment with homemade blueberry sauce, strawberry syrup, caramel sauce, lemon curd, or peanut butter. A dollop of fresh whipped cream is always a great choice too. Don’t forget to add some fresh berries if you have them, or sprinkle on some chopped nuts for an extra touch!
Ingredients for French Toast
Here’s what you’ll need to make the most unforgettably easy and scrumptious French toast ever!
- Bread– The best bread for French toast is a thick slice of stale bread with a dense crumb, like Texas Toast, Challah, Brioche, Milk Bread, a Baguette, or a Croissant.
- Eggs – Eggs help thicken the custard and create structure. You can substitute eggs with cornstarch. This technique is explained in the recipe card below.
- Whole Milk – Milk softens the bread, creates richness, and helps with browning. You can also use full-fat dairy-free milk, like coconut and almond. You’ll need fat to create the texture, so steer clear of low-fat options.
- Cinnamon – A dash of cinnamon gives the French toast a warm flavor. You can also use pumpkin or apple pie spice, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, cardamom, or cloves.
- Vanilla – Vanilla gives the French toast a rich, warm flavor. You can also flavor the French toast with orange zest, instant coffee, almond extract, bourbon, and rum (What? I’m Puerto Rican.)
- Salt – Balances the sweetness of the sugars in the milk.
- Butter – Delivers a flavorful, crispy, golden brown outer layer of French toast.
- Cooking Oil – Raises the smoke point of butter and prevents it from burning.
- Sugar – Helps brown and caramelize the outer layer of French toast.

Instructions
-
Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until they run in an uninterrupted line through the tines of a fork.
-
Warm a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add 3 tablespoons of butter and a 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil. Heat until the butter foams.
-
Dip the slices of bread in the batter, covering both sides, allowing them to soak briefly. The slice should feel heavy, like a wet sponge, but shouldn't drip like a soaking wet sponge.
-
Place the slices in the pan and sprinkle the tops with a pinch of sugar. Cook the French toast until they've browned on the bottom. Flip and sprinkle the browned tops with a second pinch of sugar.
