Description

Golden on the outside, fluffy on the inside, this Brioche French Toast is the kind of breakfast that feels like a cozy weekend morning. Made with thick-cut brioche bread soaked in a creamy cinnamon-vanilla custard, then pan-fried in butter until crisp and golden, it’s a luxurious way to start the day.
