Cinnamon Brioche French Toast
This cinnamon brioche French toast is soft, buttery, and packed with warm cinnamon flavor for an easy homemade breakfast or weekend brunch favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf brioche bread sliced into 8-10 slices
- 3-4 tablespoons butter
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet over medium low to medium heat.
- Whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla.
- Add ½ tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
- Dip one slice of bread into the mixture, coating both sides – about 3-4 seconds each side. Place in the skillet and cook each side for 2-3 minutes. If your pan is big enough for more slices, repeat the step above.
- Wipe out the pan and do the next batch, adding ½ tablespoon of butter each time.
- Keep cooked slices warm in a 200-degree oven while the rest cook.
- Serve topped with a spoonful or two of the blueberry sauce.
Notes
- Lightly stale brioche absorbs the custard without falling apart
- Keep the stove temperature under medium to prevent the outside from getting done before the middle.
- A quick dip in the egg mixture is all that’s needed. If you let it sit too long, it will be too soggy and fall apart.
- For leftovers, reheating in the oven or air fryer helps bring back the crisp edges better than microwaving.
