Easy French toast recipe US | Good Food

2 eggs
⅓ cup whole milk
3 tbsp heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
4 thick slices of brioche
or white bread
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp butter
powdered sugar
or maple syrup and fresh berries, to serve (optional)

Method

step 1
Whisk the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and cinnamon together in a jug. Lay the brioche slices in a single layer in a shallow dish and pour the egg mixture over them. Leave to soak for 2-3 mins, then carefully turn over and soak for 2 mins more.
step 2
Heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil and the butter in a non-stick skillet pan over a medium heat until foaming. Carefully lift 2 slices of the soaked brioche out of the dish and add to the pan. Fry for 3 mins on each side until golden and crisp, then put on a cooling rack set over a sheet pan in a warm oven while you repeat with the remaining slices.
step 3
Serve topped with powdered sugar or maple syrup and fresh berries, if you like.
