1/4 cup butter
6 tablespoons (or more to taste) maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  • Note: Leave bread out overnight if fresh, in order to dry it out a bit.
  • Note: Challah bread can be used in place of the brioche, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the bread and eggs. The better the ingredients, the better the final dish will be.
  • Make sure the brioche bread is slightly stale before using it. This will help it absorb the egg mixture better and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Feel free to experiment with different flavors. You can add spices, herbs, or even chocolate chips to the egg mixture.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.
