How to cook deliciously - Brioche French Toast

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 200º. On a large rimmed baking sheet, spread bread in a single layer. Bake bread until dried out, about 20 minutes. Let cool.

2. Stage

In a large, shallow baking dish, whisk eggs, milk, cream, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Working with 2 slices at a time, place bread into egg mixture and let soak 15 to 20 seconds per side.

3. Stage

In a large skillet (preferably nonstick) over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. As soon as it starts to sizzle, add soaked bread. Cook until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bread, adjusting heat and adding more butter as needed.

4. Stage

Serve with a generous drizzle of maple syrup. Top with berries and sprinkle with powdered sugar, if using.
