A simple French toast recipe. Trust me, you’ll want to whip this up for your family on Saturdays. This is the easiest, most crispy French toast recipe ever.
I love brioche bread and French toast has always been my favorite to make. My husband and I would sometime battle between French toast and pancakes. Needless to say, he is a pancake lover. However, I am a French toast gal! I often win the fight :-). What’s not to love about a crispy toasts that’s covered in syrup, fruits and maybe powdered sugar.
This recipe is easy to make. It is a classic breakfast recipe that can feed a family with no real work.
What Makes Brioche Different To Most Breads?
Brioche bread is perfect for French toast because it holds well when soaked in the egg mixture. It is filling and satisfying.
I do not like a bread that cannot stand the weight of the egg mixture when making French toast. Brioche compared to other bread, is very good because it is tough and it soaks well. It’s a thicker bread but not tough to cook with.
How To Prevent The Brioche Bread From Being Soggy?
A good French toast recipe does not include a soggy bread. In fact, the bread is lightly crispy and yet soft. It doesn’t taste like it was submerged in eggs, but instead, lightly coated with eggs and cinnamon. The key to not having soggy bread is to lightly toast the bread before dipping it into the egg mixture. By toasting the bread first, this ensure you to have a crispy French toast every time while the inside is still soft.
How To Make Brioche Bread French Toast?
When ready to make this dish, toast all the bread and set them aside. You can cut the bread in half diagonally or leave whole. Mix all the ingredients. Dip the bread into the egg mixture, then add it to the buttered skillet.
Cook until golden brown on both sides. Place in the oven at 200 degrees to keep warm while you finish the other slices. Serve with your favorite syrup and fruits.

Notes
For The Best Brioche French Toast
Use real butter. This is key to have additional crispiness around the edges. If you are non-dairy, or dairy-free, a great alternative is to use coconut milk. This milk will provide a hint of coconut flavor and taste so delicious. Be sure to not soak the bread too long as you do not want it to fall apart on you. ~~~This post contain some affiliate links.
