Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices thick-cut brioche bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, soaking both sides.
- Place the soaked bread on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
- Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on top of each slice and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until bubbly and golden.

- If you don’t have a kitchen torch, broil the sugar-topped toast in the oven for 1-2 minutes to achieve a similar effect.
