Description

This French Toast is cooked low & slow in clarified butter, which makes for a crispy exterior and custardy interior. The most perfect addition to Breakfast or Brunch.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 6 slices thick cut brioche or challah bread
  • clarified butter, or unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Combine eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, sugar, and vanilla in a shallow dish and whisk together to form a custard.
  2. Preheat a large skillet with a tablespoon of clarified butter over a low flame.
  3. Dip the brioche slices into the custard and let the bread soak some of it up until it feels spongey (about 5-10 seconds per side).
  4. Let excess custard drip off of the bread and place it in the preheated skillet. Cook for 7 and 1/2 minutes per side, or until the bread becomes golden brown. Don’t touch it while it’s cooking! Just flip it once after 7 and 1/2 minutes.
  5. Remove French toast from the skillet after both sides are golden brown and the custard has cooked all the way through and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Please read full blog post for tips and tricks
  • If you do not have clarified butter, you can use regular butter with a touch of olive oil. Leave heat on a low flame to avoid burning.
