Brioche is the best! The eggy and spiced French toast is just made better by the apple topping - surprise guests with this one on a cozy fall morning! And breakfast for dinner is always delicious with some hearty sausages on the side.
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick-cut brioche
- 3 Eggs
- ¼ cup Milk
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- 2 Tbsp Butter or Blood Orange Infused Olive Oil
- Topping:
- 2 large Apples, peeled and sliced
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp Butter or Blood Orange Infused Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp Cinnamon Pear Dark Balsamic
To make the topping: In a non-stick pan, add Butter or Blood Orange Olive Oil and warm over medium heat. Add apple slices and brown sugar. Stir and toss together for 4 to 5 minutes, until the apples are just starting to soften. Add vinegar, stir, and cook for 3 minutes, until the sauce reduces and thickens. Keep warm in a pan until ready to top the French toast.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 300°F and place a baking sheet in the oven.
In a shallow dish, beat together eggs, milk and spices. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes, then add olive oil. When the pan is hot, dip bread in egg mixture for the briefest of seconds, flip over and repeat briefly - too long of a soak will leave you with soggy French toast. Add a slice of dipped bread to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread and keep warm in the oven until all slices are finished.
Serve each slice of French toast with a generous serving of warm apple slices and a sprinkling of icing sugar if desired.
