Ultimate Brioche French Toast

Ingredients List

• 1 ½ cups milk

• 4 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 teaspoon white sugar

• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 1 pinch salt

• 1 tablespoon butter, divided, or more as needed

• 6 (1 inch) thick slices dry brioche bread

• ¼ cup butter

• 6 tablespoons maple syrup, or more to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla, sugar, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.

3. Melt 1 1/2 teaspoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. In batches, dip each slice of brioche into the egg mixture and fry in the hot butter until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding more butter as needed. Arrange the French toast on a baking sheet.

4. Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until puffed and slightly crisped.

5. In a skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter over medium-low heat, stirring until it turns golden and fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer the browned butter to a separate dish. Drizzle over the baked French toast and top each slice with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
