Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Custard
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Let the custard mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Soak the Bread
- Place the brioche slices in a baking dish and pour the custard mixture over the bread, ensuring each slice is well soaked.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best results.
Bake the French Toast
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the soaked bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard is set.
Caramelize the Sugar
- Remove the French toast from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the top of the baked French toast.
- Using a blow torch, caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden crust.
Serve
- Slice the French toast and serve immediately, optionally garnished with fresh berries or whipped cream.
