brioche french toast

The best French toast made with brioche bread. Crispy on the outside and custard-like on the inside.

Brioche French Toast

eggs

milk

Tbsp sugar

cornstarch

tsp vanilla extract

cinnamon

brioche bread (about 3/4-inch thick, day-old (Note))

Tbsp butter (or more)

maple syrup

sugar

berries

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, dissolved cornstarch, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

Soak

Place brioche bread in a shallow baking pan and pour batter over the bread. Let the bread soak for about 1 minute per side until the mixture is absorbed.

Cook

Heat a large enough pan or griddle over medium heat and melt butter. Pick up bread and allow any excess mixture to drip off. Fry for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Serve

Perfect French Toast

salt

nutmeg

vanilla extract

butter,

Slice a small sliver off each end of the bread then cut the loaf in half. Cut each half in half, then each piece in half to yield eight slices, about one inch thick.

Place a rack over a sheet tray and lay out the slices and let sit overnight uncovered to dry out the bread.

In a medium bowl, vigorously beat eggs then whisk in sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and milk.  Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight.

When ready to serve, whisk once more then pour the egg mixture into a casserole dish. We used a 9X13 so we could dip four at a time.

Place four slices into the egg mixture and time 90 seconds. Flip and time 90 seconds more. Remove to a clean tray. Repeat for last four pieces of bread.

Heat one large or two medium griddle pans over medium heat and melt two tablespoons of butter per pan, or all four if using one large griddle.

Once the butter is frothy and starting to brown slightly, place all of the soaked bread onto the melted butter and time 90 seconds. Flip and cook 90 seconds more.

Remove to a serving platter and serve with softened butter and heated maple syrup. Serve two slices per person.

This is very good, but I used Hawaiian Round Loaf bread!  Delish!

Funfetti Brioche Bread is a celebration of the Austrailian favorite: fairy bread. Sprinkles are throughout an enriched brioche loaf that is delicious.

Funfetti Brioche Bread

colored sprinkles

all-purpose flour

white granulated sugar

instant yeast

water

unsalted butter (at room temperature)

egg egg wash

Line a baking sheet or baking dish with plastic wrap, foil or parchment. Add the sprinkles to the baking sheet and transfer to the freezer.

In a stand mixer, with the dough hook, mix together all of the dough ingredients to form a mostly smooth, shiny dough. Don't worry; what starts out as a sticky mess becomes beautifully satiny as it kneads. Knead this dough on medium speed for 10 minutes. (The original recipe usually calls for 15 to 20 minutes, but we're kneading it later on in the recipe, again, and we don't want over-kneaded dough so we're stopping at 10 minutes!).

Spray a medium bowl with cooking spray. Transfer the dough into the greased bowl, using a spatula because the dough will be a bit sticky. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for 1 hour. At the 1 hour mark, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge to proof for several hours, ideally overnight. This will slow the fermentation and chill the butter, making the dough easier to shape.

When the dough has chilled, transfer about half of it (you're really gonna have to pull it out of the bowl--it'll be hard and super cold!) to the bowl of a stand-up mixer, with the dough hook attached.

Remove the frozen sprinkles from the freezer and reserve about a teaspoon for the topping. Pour about 2 teaspoons of sprinkles on top of the dough that's in the machine. Turn the machine on low speed and knead for about 30 to 40 seconds. Stop the machine and add the remaining dough and sprinkles. Knead again for about 2 minutes--during this time the sprinkles should totally be mixed into the dough and the dough should become smoother. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times to form a ball. This step helped with getting it a bit smoother.

You have some options in terms of sizing. You can do: 1.) One large loaf in a 9x5-inch loaf pan. 2.). One loaf in a 8x4-inch pan and one 2 1/2x2 loaf pan. 3.) Or you could do four 2 1/2x2 loaf pans.

To do a 9 x 5-inch loaf: Divide the dough into three and roll those pieces into logs that are about 9 inches long. Braid them, tuck the ends under and transfer the whole thing to the lightly greased pan.

To do a 8x4 1/2-inch loaf and one 2 1/2x2 loaf: Form the dough into a ball and cut off about 1/4 of the dough. Cut that small piece into three and roll each of those pieces into logs that are about 3 inches long. Braid them, tuck the ends under and transfer the small braid to the lightly greased 2 1/2x2-inch loaf pan. Repeat these same steps with the larger leftover piece of dough and transfer the big braid to the lightly greased 8x4 1/2-inch pan.

To make mini loaves: Divide the dough into four. Divide the first ball of dough into three and roll each of those pieces into logs that are about 3 inches long. Braid them, tuck the ends under and transfer the braid to the lightly greased 2 1/2x2-inch loaf pan. Repeat these same steps with the three remaining pieces of dough and transfer them each to 2 1/2x2-inch loaf pans.

Cover the dough, regardless which route you went, and allow it to rise for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. During this time, each loaf will double in size.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Brush the loaf or loaves with the egg yolk and top with sprinkles. Transfer to the oven to bake for 10 minutes. At the 10 minute mark, turn the heat down to 350 degrees and tent the brioche, if needed, with a sheet of foil. I found that I needed to tent it at the 15 minute mark but this may vary. Bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes for a large loaf and 10 to 15 minutes for a smaller loaf. Insert a digital thermometer in the center and you'll know it's done when it reads 190F. Remove and allow to cool completely before slicing.

Earl Grey infused Custard French Toast topped with whipped cream, homemade blackberry jam and slivered almonds. You won’t forget this wonderfully tasty breakfast in a hurry!

Earl Grey Custard French Toast Recipe

360 ml whole milk (room temperature)

Earl Grey tea bags

eggs (room temperature)

unsalted butter

whipped cream

blackberry jam

blackberries

almonds

Infuse the milk. In a medium heavy-based saucepan add the milk and tea bags and over medium heat warm through until simmering and bubbles appear on the edge of the pan. Remove from the cooktop and let the tea bags steep for 15 minutes. Squeeze out the bags and remove them.

Make the earl grey custard. Add the infused milk, eggs, and vanilla extract into a medium bowl and whisk until fully combined.

Soak the brioche. Lay half of the brioche slices in a large baking pan. Pour half of the Earl Grey custard mixture over the bread slices and soak for 2 minutes before turning over and soaking for another two minutes.

Fry the soaked slices. Heat a large fry pan on medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted add in the soaked bread slices carefully and fry for 3 minutes or until the underside is golden brown. Add another tablespoon of butter if required and flip the brioche slices and fry for another 3 minutes until the second side is golden. If the brioche starts to burn then reduce the temperature slightly.

Repeat the soak and fry. Repeat this process with the remaining brioche slices until all are cooked. Add another tablespoon of butter before frying the second batch. Serve warm with freshly whipped cream, homemade blackberry jam, fresh blackberries, and slivered almonds (optional).

What an incredible breakfast. I have never infused anything with Earl Grey before and now I am hooked. From the buttery brioche to the whipped cream topping, this easy French toast recipe will be on the menu whenever I want to treat my family. 
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Emma, This sounds like an awesome recipe- I love the sound of the Earl Grey French Toast. Can't wait to try it out this weekend. Is it ok to sub the blackberry jam with another type of jam?

This 50-Clove Garlic French Toast is the savory-sweet brunch recipe you didn't know you needed. Roasted garlic gets blended two ways — into a silky custard for soaking thick brioche slices, and into an airy garlic whipped cream that pipes on top like the most luxurious finishing touch. It's a stunning centerpiece for a weekend brunch or a special-occasion breakfast that's easier to pull off than it looks. A drizzle of honey at the end ties the whole thing together in the best possible way.

Slice the tops off the heads of garlic to expose all of the cloves. Place the heads on a large sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with the olive oil, and wrap tightly to seal. Set on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, or until the cloves are golden and very soft. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 200˚F (95˚C).

Squeeze the cloves out of the heads and divide into 30 cloves and 20 cloves. Add the 30 cloves to a food processor and process for about 30 seconds, or until a smooth paste forms. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.

Make the garlic whipped cream: Whip the heavy cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, or until medium-stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Add the remaining 20 garlic cloves to the food processor and process for about 30 seconds, or until a smooth paste forms. Add the cream cheese and the salt and process for about 1 minute, or until light and smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl, add a large spoonful of the whipped cream, and stir until fully incorporated. Fold the cream cheese mixture into the remaining whipped cream with a rubber spatula until no streaks remain. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with star tip and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Arrange the brioche slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 3 minutes, or until dry to the touch.

Whisk the eggs, whole milk, honey, and salt together in a large shallow dish. Whisk in the reserved garlic paste until fully incorporated.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Dip each brioche slice into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 15 seconds per side. Working in batches, add 2 soaked brioche slices to the skillet at a time and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until deeply golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining brioche, adding 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet before each batch.

Transfer the French toast to plates, pipe the garlic whipped cream over the top, drizzle with the honey and garnish with fresh thyme.
