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.

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.

Probably the best French toast ever. Finishing it in the oven ensures that even thick slices are not runny or underdone. Browned butter also adds a nutty, caramel twist to the usual maple goodness.

Tips:

  • Use day-old brioche bread for the best results. This will help the bread to soak up the egg mixture and custard without becoming too soggy.
  • Make sure the butter is melted and the pan is hot before adding the bread. This will help to prevent the bread from sticking to the pan and will also create a nice, golden crust.
  • Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the bread will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, powdered sugar, or fruit.
