Ingredients to Shop

For 4 people
Preparation: 5 minutes
Resting: 10 minutes
Cooking: 15 minutes

  • 8 slices of stale brioche (at least 2 days old)
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 tbsp sugar
  • 240 ml milk
  • 25 g butter
  • A few pinches of brown sugar (optional)
 

Recipe

Crack the eggs into a large enough dish. Add the sugar and milk, then mix well with a fork.

Lay the slices of brioche flat in the mixture. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then flip the slices and let them rest again for 5 minutes to fully soak both sides. Do this in batches if your dish is too small.

Heat the butter in a pan on low heat. If you want, sprinkle a little brown sugar on both sides of the soaked brioche slices, and cook them on low heat for 5 minutes on each side. Increase the heat slightly and cook each side for another 1 to 2 minutes to achieve a nice golden result.

Enjoy the French Toast while it’s still hot!
