Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

    In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, mixing until fluffy. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cinnamon Caramel

    In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, corn syrup, a pinch of salt, and ¼ cup of water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens. Stir in ground cinnamon, then remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Prepare the French Toast Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until well combined.

  4. 4

    Cook the French Toast

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp of butter. Dip each slice of brioche in the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds. Cook each slice on the skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining bread, adding more butter as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Stack the French toast on plates, drizzle with cinnamon caramel, and top with whipped cream cheese frosting. Enjoy!
