Brioche French Toast

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixed Berry Syrup

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine mixed berries and maple syrup. Cook until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the applewood smoked bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

  3. 3

    Make the French Toast Batter

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

  4. 4

    Cook the French Toast

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides, and then place in the skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bread, adding more butter as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the French toast hot, topped with mixed berry syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and crispy bacon on the side.
