French Toast

Maple-Butter Syrup

Method

Prepare the French Toast

  1. 1

    Make the batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, Grand Marnier, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Dip the bread

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Dip each slice of French Brioche bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.

  3. 3

    Cook the toast

    Place the dipped brioche slices onto the preheated skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Keep warm in a low oven while cooking the remaining slices.

Prepare the Maple-Butter Syrup

  1. 4

    Melt the butter

    In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the pure maple syrup and stir until combined and warmed through.

Serve the Dish

  1. 5

    Plate the French Toast

    On a serving plate, stack the cooked French toast slices. Drizzle generously with the maple-butter syrup.

  2. 6

    Add toppings

    Top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle fresh berries over the top. Serve immediately.
