Nothing feels as comforting as a few slices of brioche French toast topped with fresh berries on a Sunday morning! It is made with thin or thick slices of brioche bread depending on your preference and what you can find in stores. Then is dipped in a creamy whole milk custard and then cooked in butter. It is truly an extra special breakfast that your family will ask for every time.

This is the best easy brioche French toast ever!

Plus it always seems like we always go for regular French toast as opposed to the one made with brioche. Me, I always end up getting it at restaurants or when I go out for brunch but trust me making it at home, adding your favorite toppings to it and some warm pure maple syrup is the best feeling ever. Especially since you might even have some leftover french toast from this recipe to enjoy throughout the week during those busy mornings

Why do you need to make this recipe!

  • It is easy yet so fancy to serve to family and guests for breakfast or brunch.
  • This recipe brings out a whole new level of decadence into your mornings.
  • If using a few pans you can make it and serve in no time!
  • This French toast recipe can be frozen and reheated for later so that you can still get the same taste.

Ingredients for this buttery brioche bread french toast recipe?

Here are the ingredients you will need to make this recipe. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed ingredient measurements.

  • Brioche bread– We are using rich brioche bread which will allow us to have an even deeper flavor when we add it to the custard. You can also use Challah bread, sourdough bread, or even Hawaiian sweet bread. Keep in mind that slightly stale bread works best in french toast because it will be a bit more dry allowing it to soak up more custard while maintaining its shape. I love getting my Brioche from trader joes.
  • Eggs
  • Milk- Full-fat milk is best.
  • Vanilla extract– This will add extra depth of flavor.
  • Salt
  • Sugar
  • Butter
  • maple syrup
  • cinnamon– Cinnamon in the egg custard is optional but if you enjoy that flavor it will taste amazing in this.

How to reheat brioche French toast?

There are a few different ways to reheat your brioche french toast. You can simply pop it in the microwave, or you can place it on a baking sheet and heat it up in a 400F oven for 5-8 minutes. This will give you a delicious breakfast in no time!

Why is my brioche French toast soggy?

The first thing you need to make sure that you are doing is that the heat is on medium or medium-low. We need to cook the bread slices enough to allow the custard to set. If you cook the bread at higher temperatures the outside will cook too quickly and the center will stay raw and soggy.
