A quick and easy French toast recipe that has all of the things we like about French toast! The crispy edges, the soft eggy middle, and the buttery taste that a good brioche gives us.
Ingredients
-
8 slices of thick. hearty bread (Brioche is my favorite for French toast)
-
1.5 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice (alternatively you can use ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, but I recommend going with pumpkin pie spice as it lends a more complex flavor)
-
¼ cup milk (Use 2% or full fat for best results)
-
butter for frying (I end up using about 1.5 tablespoons for all 8 slices)
-
fruit for topping
-
maple syrup to taste
Instructions
-
Heat large nonstick skillet on medium/high and add butter to melt.
-
In a shallow dish, whisk eggs and milk together until combined.
-
Add pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon and stir to combine.
-
One by one, dredge the slices in the egg mixture. Place soaked slices on a cutting board for a few seconds so that the mixture has time to absorb a little bit (this makes for a much better toast in the end)
-
Arrange the soaked pieces of toast in the skillet and cook on each side for about a minute to a minute and a half, they are done when its crispy on the edges and has browned a bit.
-
Top with berries, maple syrup
-
Enjoy! French toast is best eaten fresh.
