French Toast

Cinnamon Sugar

Candied Walnuts

Method

French Toast

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Soak the Brioche

    Dip each slice of brioche into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated well. Let them soak for a few seconds.

  3. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the soaked brioche slices and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.

Cinnamon Sugar

  1. 4

    Mix Cinnamon Sugar

    In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Mix until evenly distributed.

Vanilla Whip

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vanilla Whip

    In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Candied Walnuts

  1. 6

    Candy the Walnuts

    In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the walnuts, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the sugar has melted and coats the walnuts evenly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
