Brioche French Toast

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the custard

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

  2. 2

    Soak the bread

    Dip each slice of brioche in the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.

  3. 3

    Cook the French toast

    In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the soaked brioche slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.

  4. 4

    Caramelize the bananas

    In the same skillet, add the sliced bananas and brown sugar. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bananas are caramelized, stirring gently.

  5. 5

    Whip the Chantilly cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

  6. 6

    Assemble and serve

    Serve the French toast topped with caramelized bananas, mixed berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a dollop of Chantilly cream.
