Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups full-fat milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 5 large egg yolks
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 10 slices thick brioche about 1 inch
- butter for the skillet
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk milk, cream, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Place a few slices of my brioche recipe (or store-bought) in the egg mixture. After 2-3 minutes, gently flip the slices in the mixture to soak the other side.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Generously butter the skillet and add your soaked slices of brioche. Cook 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat the soaking and cooking with the remaining slices of brioche.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, cream, and fresh berries.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Rewarm on a buttered skillet on the stove or microwave for a minute.
