Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups milk
-
4 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 teaspoon white sugar
-
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
1 pinch salt
-
1 tablespoon butter, divided, or more as needed
-
6 (1 inch) thick slices dry brioche bread
-
¼ cup butter
-
6 tablespoons maple syrup, or more to taste
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Whisk milk, eggs, vanilla, sugar, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl.
-
Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, dip each slice of brioche bread in the egg mixture and cook in the hot butter until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding more butter as needed. Transfer French toast to a baking sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until puffed, 8 to 10 minutes.
-
Cook and stir 1/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium-low heat until browned and toasty, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer browned butter to a cold dish. Drizzle browned butter over baked French toast and top each slice with 1 tablespoon maple syrup.
Recipe Tips
You can use challah in place of brioche if desired.
If using fresh bread, leave it out overnight to dry out a bit.
