Ingredients

• 6 slices thick-sliced brioche or challah bread
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup additional pure maple syrup for serving
• 1 cup fresh fruit (optional, such as sliced strawberries or blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish, such as a pie pan or casserole dish, for easy dipping.

Step 3

Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.

Step 4

Dip each slice of brioche or challah bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated. Allow the bread to soak for a few seconds, but do not oversaturate.

Step 5

Place the dipped bread slices onto the skillet or griddle. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to cook in batches.

Step 6

Cook each slice for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked slices to a serving platter and keep warm while preparing the remaining slices.

Step 8

Sprinkle powdered sugar over the top of the French toast for a touch of sweetness.

Step 9

Serve immediately with additional maple syrup on the side and, if desired, fresh fruit such as sliced strawberries or blueberries.
