Salted caramel + brioche French toast = instant happiness for the taste buds
Among the brunch staples, brioche French toast is obviously included! It’s like French toast except that instead of stale bread, you use soft and fluffy brioche. And with its generous soak of eggs and milk, then after a nice golden and caramelized finish in butter, impossible to resist… It’s ultra creamy, ultra indulgent and super easy to make! To succeed in brioche French toast every time, we recommend using fairly thick slices so they hold together during cooking. Don’t let them soak too long in the egg + milk mixture so they aren’t too soft either. And for the cooking, keep the heat fairly low for a nice even browning.
For the topping, we always go with salted butter caramel, homemade of course! It’s the ultimate combo for a successful brunch. This flavor pairing pleases both kids and adult gourmands. Serve this recipe still warm for maximum pleasure at snack time, brunch or dessert. And above all, don’t stint on the amount of caramel! The more there is, the better …

French toast, a brunch classic to endlessly reinterpret for even more indulgence
Originally, French toast mainly served to recycle leftover bread in a sweet, indulgent and economical recipe. It was enough to prepare a small mixture of eggs and milk (with a bit of sugar), then dip our slices of bread and brown them in a pan. But over time, French toast has transformed into increasingly indulgent preparations! Now we think about flavoring our batter with soft spices like cinnamon or vanilla for an even more delicious result. For the topping, you put whatever you want! Caramel, chocolate, maple syrup, fresh fruit, dried fruit… Don’t put limits on yourself.
And what about a savory version? Our absolute happiness is to put a bit of pesto into the egg + milk batter with parmesan for irresistibly melty toasts… With melted mozzarella, ham and arugula, it’s a killer. Try it at home and tell us what you think!
