French toast isn’t rocket science really and we all grew up eating it. It’s just why is it so damn good at some places and not at others? That is the question. The answer…..THE BREAD.
It’s all about using the right bread. I recently walked by the bakery at The Fresh Market and a pretty loaf of French Brioche caught my eye. I thought, hmmmm, let me try that tomorrow morning, cause isn’t that what the French use? Even buying it made me feel fancy, and possibly the fact that I was wearing floral and a cute hat. I dunno. I made my usual french toast
recipe and you know what? This time it was MIND BLOWING.That was it. I was using the wrong bread the entire time. People!! Listen to me, only make it with Brioche bread from now on.
Enjoy!
My kids ask for this EVERY Sunday morning since I made the switch.

So we have David’s childhood buddy in town with his 3 boys for the weekend! Including my boys, that means 5 boys between the ages of 10-14. I made your brioche French toast this morning and let me tell you, they were RAVING about it! Just for the record, this age group of boys rarely RAVE about anything that doesn’t involve a ball or a big fish! Thanks for the recipe! This one is a KEEPER!
Could you please share a version of this recipe for 1 or 2 people? I would love to try it!!!!!
Yum! Do all listed ingredients go in the batter? Was wondering if maple syrup and honey and butter are toppings?!
