Ultimate Brioche French Toast Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups milk
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tablespoon butter, divided, or more as needed
• 6 (1 inch) thick slices dry brioche bread
• 0.25 cup butter
• 6 tablespoons maple syrup, or more to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
3. Melt 1 1/2 teaspoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each brioche slice in the egg mixture, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, adding butter as needed. Transfer to a baking sheet.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the French toast is puffed up, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
5. In a skillet over medium-low heat, cook and stir 1/4 cup of butter until it browns and has a toasty aroma, about 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a cold dish. Drizzle the browned butter over the baked French toast and top with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup per slice.
