french toast with brioche bread
Brioche French Toast is a decadent brunch that the whole family will love. This easy French toast recipe is quick to make, and sure to make any weekend brunch special.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs together well. Beat in the milk, sugar and vanilla.
Layer the brioche bread in a single layer across a large baking dish (I use my 9-inch x 13-inch baking pan). Gently pour the egg mixture over the bread slices. Allow to soak for 2 minutes. Gently flip using a spatula. Allow to soak an additional 2 minutes. Tip the pan around if needed to help the bread absorb the egg mixture. The bread should soak up all of the egg mixture.
Heat a large skillet on medium to medium-high heat. Melt a knob of butter on it. Gently transfer all 4 brioche french toast to the pan. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is also golden brown, about 3 minutes. If you feel like your french toast is browning too quickly, turn the heat down.
Serve immediately. Top with butter, maple syrup and fresh berries, or use your favorite toppings.
Brioche French Toast
Thick-sliced brioche dipped in a sweet egg custard creates the most tender, buttery, luxurious French toast ever! Serve this Brioche French Toast with fresh berries and warm maple syrup for an easy but elegant breakfast.
Whisk the eggs in a low shallow dish – a pie plate works well – or if you’d like to coat several pieces of bread at once, use a 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Add the milk, sugar and vanilla extract and whisk again until well combined.
Add 1 tablespoon butter to a 12-inch to 14-inch skillet and place over MEDIUM heat. Meanwhile, place one slice of brioche into the egg mixture and turn to coat both sides. When butter has melted and begins to foam, add the coated brioche. Dip and transfer as many pieces of brioche that will comfortably fit in the pan without touching. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and then flip the bread and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the other side.
Transfer the French toast to a platter and keep warm. If you don’t have a warming tray, place the French toast on a baking sheet and transfer to a 200 degree oven until ready to serve.
Wipe down the skillet with a paper towel and repeat the process with remaining butter, bread, and egg mixture.
Serve immediately with warmed maple syrup and fresh berries.

WHAT IS BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST?
Brioche French Toast is a perfect breakfast option made with the goodness of brioche bread, covered in the goodness of milk or cream, eggs, butter, and sugar. You can also add vanilla and cinnamon together.
HOW TO STORE YOUR FRENCH TOAST?
When it comes down to brioche, it is known for the dense texture that doesn’t fall apart. However, it can go stale just like other breads, which is why it must be stored in a plastic bag, or you can wrap it tightly in aluminum foil to retain its moisture.
Having said that, you can only store brioche bread in the refrigerator for three to four days. On the other hand, there is no way you can store the cooked French toast as it’s not a healthy choice to make.
Can I use Challah instead of Brioche?
Absolutely, challah and brioche breads are very similar and can be interchanged. Most challah bread are dairy-free, which is the main (and often only) difference with a brioche.
STORING & FREEZING
To store leftovers brioche french toast, let them cool down first then place in an air-tight container and store in the fridge. I recommend serving within a day or the french toast will be quite soggy.
Reheat it in the oven or on the stove for the best crispy texture, or in the microwave if you don’t mind a slightly more soggy texture. I don’t recommend freezing french toast; they tend to loose all shape and texture in the freezer.
french toast with brioche bread casserole
This Brioche French Toast Casserole is perfect to bake on Sunday mornings for breakfast, brunch, or my favorite, Easter and Christmas. This is my favorite spin on brioche french toast and it’s quicker! You don’t have to keep flipping toast while entertaining. Just take 5 minutes to prepare this and stick it in the oven to feed a crowd.
Optional Toppings: An additional ⅛ cup sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon mixed together for topping before baking. Powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, maple syrup, berries and/or whipped cream for serving.
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Begin by buttering a 9×13 casserole dish.
Chop the bread slices into approximately 1 inch cubes. These do not have to be perfect, just give them a rough chop into small squares. Place the chopped cubes into the casserole dish.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together 4 eggs.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cinnamon and sugar. Add in half and half, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk again to blend really well.
Pour the custard mixture over the bread in the casserole dish. Take a spoon and give the bread a gentle toss to make sure all of the bread is soaked in the liquid.
Optional: Top with a little more cinnamon sugar mixture if you like it really sweet. I use ⅛ cup white sugar mixed with ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
Bake in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes on a middle rack, not too close to the top burner.
After it is baked, allow the casserole to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before adding powdered sugar, and maple syrup.
HOW TO BAKE FRENCH TOAST?
Preheat your oven to 350°F
Cover the baking dish with foil and set on a rack in the center of the oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for 30-35 minutes until the French toast has puffed up and is set. There may be a slight jiggle in the middle when you shake the dish.
Can I use other types of bread for French toast?
Challah bread is another good choice for this recipe. It has a similar texture and richness, but isn’t as buttery as brioche bread. Thick sliced bakery sandwich bread or French bread will also work, but will have a different texture.
Why is my French toast casserole soggy?
The main cause of a soggy French toast casserole underbaking. I recommend baking for around 50 minutes. But time can vary slightly. Be sure to bake the French toast until the casserole is puffed up and has just a slight jiggle when shaking the dish.
