How to cook Brioche French Toast

Hello every one :D



This is a great way to make use of fresh or day-old sliced brioche or challah

bread; the thick slices of golden toast are like puffy cinnamon- vanilla soufflés. Top with warmed maple syrup or sautéed fresh fruit.

4 large eggs

3/4

cup low-fat milk

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Dash of pure vanilla extract

Four 1-inch- thick slices brioche or challah bread (8 ounces)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1.In a large, wide bowl, combine the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla. Add all of the bread slices, turning to coat and stacking in two layers.

Let soak for about 2 minutes, turning and restacking the slices.



2.Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a nonstick large skillet over medium heat until the butter begins to sizzle.

Carefully remove the bread slices from the bowl and place them in the skillet.



Let cook on medium heat until golden brown underneath, about 4 minutes.



3.Turn the slices, add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the center of the skillet, and cook until the toasts are nicely golden on the other side and springy to the touch, about 3 minutes longer.
