A french toast recipe that's perfect for long brunches and lazy mornings
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 loaf brioche sliced into 1 /2 inch pieces
- 5 large eggs
- 2 cups half & half
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp honey optional
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together eggs.
- Continue to whisk and stir in half and half.
- Add vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, honey, and salt. Whisk well to combine.
- Heat a large skillet on medium high heat.
- Melt a tbsp of butter in skillet.
- Dip bread in custard mixture, turning 2-3x times until fully coated, for 10-15 seconds max.
- Remove bread from custard, draining excess and add to hot skillet, 2-3 pieces at a time.
- Cook toast until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Notes
- Challah is a perfect substitute for brioche.
- A splash of Grand Marnier or bourbon to the custard makes a wonderfully boozy version of this french toast.
