Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large eggs
1/2 cup superfine sugar
4 cups milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
1 loaf day-old brioche or challah bread, cut into 1-inch slices
1/4 cup Clarified Butter
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Confectioners' sugar
Syrup, for serving
Fresh fruit or crisp cooked bacon, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and milk. Add cinnamon and nutmeg; whisk to combine.
  • Layer bread slices in a shallow baking dish and pour over egg mixture; let stand until bread begins to absorb liquid, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn bread slices and let bread absorb liquid on the opposite side, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place a baking sheet or ovenproof serving platter in oven.
  • Working in batches, coat the bottom of a medium skillet with some of the clarified butter and heat over medium-high heat. Add 3 to 4 slices of soaked bread and cook until golden brown and crisp. Turn bread and cook until golden brown and crisp, adding butter as necessary to help browning and to give the French toast a nutty flavor. Transfer French toast to baking sheet in oven to keep warm. Repeat process with remaining clarified butter, soaked bread, and butter.
  • Serve French toast immediately dusted with confectioners' sugar, syrup, and fresh fruit or bacon, if desired.

This French toast was a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices to the custard mixture.

This French toast was a bit too eggy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less eggs in the custard mixture.

I'm not a huge fan of French toast, but this recipe was really good. The brioche was so fluffy and the custard was perfectly flavored.

I thought the brioche was a bit dry, but the custard was very good. I would recommend using a different type of bread, such as challah or sourdough.

This French toast was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the custard mixture.

I've made this French toast several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it always turns out perfect. I love that I can make it ahead of time and then just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to eat.
