    Why Brioche French Toast

    The brioche bread slices absorb the French toast mixture and still maintain its structure. The French toast mixture is a perfect sweet base. Cooking on the griddle gives each brioche slice a buttery crust and a tender middle. The brioche slices can hold your favorite breakfast or dessert toppings.

    French Toast Toppings

    The hardest thing is deciding what to top them with. Honestly, I love them with just maple syrup or even nothing at all. Here are some ideas to make them even more scrumptious:

    • Powdered sugar with blueberries and maple syrup
    • Butter and maple syrup, the classic
    • Whipped cream
    • Blueberries
    • Strawberries
    • Nutella, mine and the girls’ favorite
    • Cream cheese with brown sugar
    • Chocolate chips
    • Caramel sauce

    Ingredients

    All you need is brioche bread, eggs, milk, and spices. The spices are usually hiding in the pantry.

    Keep reading down to the recipe card for precise information on ingredients and instructions.

    Pro Tips

    • Use a fork to whisk the mixture in between coating the bread slices to keep the cinnamon even.
    • If you have a larger griddle, like our 36-inch, you can turn off a side burner to use as a holding area.
    • Cook your breakfast meat first and have it over on the side holding area of the griddle ready to serve.

    Substitutions

    You can make a lot of substitutions to French toast since it is just a few ingredients. However, it will change that brioche texture and flavor. Here are some substitutions if you don’t have brioche bread or you have another taste in mind.

    • Brioche bread can be substituted with Hawaiian sweet bread/rolls, Texas toast, French bread, etc.
    • Milk can be substituted with buttermilk, half-and-half, or a non-dairy substitute.
    • Cinnamon can be changed to nutmeg or pumpkin spice for a different flavor.

    Variations

    How can you make the brioche French toast even tastier? Here are some fun ideas for you to try the next time you make them.

    • Deluxe – This takes a little more time but can really bring that wow factor. Stuff thicker brioche slices before coating them in the French toast mixture. I like to use Nutella or cream cheese with brown sugar for stuffing.
    • Kid-friendly – That brioche may be a bit big. How about doing them as brioche French toast sticks? They are ideal for dipping.
    • Brunch – This is a great way to start a wonderful afternoon with family and/or friends. So let’s add just a bit of Bailey’s to the French toast mixture.

    Equipment

    An outdoor griddle gives you the space to get all of them done at one time. Our griddle is a 36-inch. You can use a smaller one or even go indoors. I like using a flat-bottom rectangular pan for dipping. Two forks are handy for soaking and flipping the brioche slices and remixing the French toast mixture.

    Storage / Rewarm

    Storage – Even though we prefer them fresh and crispy, you can make some extras. Once they are cooled off you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
    Rewarm – You can put them back on the griddle or skillet on medium-low heat, flipping at least once until warmed through. The air fry at 350 degrees F. will rewarm them in about 3 minutes.

    FAQ

    What is the best French toast griddle temp?

    I like to cook the Brioche and/or French toast on medium-low, 425 – 435 degrees F. It gives that nice bit of crisping to the bread.

    Why do you remix the French toast mixture?

    I find it helps to keep the cinnamon more evenly distributed between soaking the slices of bread.

    How do you do the deluxe version?

    I cut the brioche thicker about 1½ inch slices. This is especially important if you choose to use cream cheese. It can be more difficult to stuff into the brioche slice than Nutella.

    Need more breakfast ideas

    Check out these other tasty ones:

    • Breakfast meat on the Blackstone has been a game changer. Everything is done in one place, i.e. "one pan", more flavor, fewer dishes. Our favorites are by far bacon, sausage links, and sausage patties. Oh by the way, clean-up is a breeze.
      Blackstone Breakfast Meat
    • It is so easy to do Scrambled Eggs on the Blackstone. The best is you can make a bunch and each to order, from meat lovers to veggie. You get a wonderful texture and I find using "LOW" to one mark above lets me be able to cook various styles of eggs. It also makes it easier to add additional toppings to the scrambled eggs on the Blackstone. You are going to love the simplicity of being able to cook a full breakfast you thought only possible at a restaurant.

    • Oh Yes, it's the Holidays and now you can have Chocolate Muffins in the Ninja Foodi. Using the Steam & Bake function makes these chocolate cake mix chocolate muffins fluffier, airier, and lighter. So simple and easy to make with plenty of Chocolate Chips Too!
      Ninja Foodi Chocolate Muffins
    • French toast pancakes are the best of both worlds: pancakes and French toast in every bite. Fluffy and perfectly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, simply soak the pancakes in a French toast mixture and grill for a second time.

    What about Lunch or Dinner

    The Kitchen Bucket List has meal ideas from the air fryer to the smoker:

    • Smoked sausage is tender on the inside, and slightly crisp on the outside. Pick your favorite or favorites and use the smoking wood of your choice. You are going to wish you had done these sooner.

    • Cooked low and slow with sweet pecan wood, these Smoked Meatballs are our favorite BBQ flavor bombs this summer. The cheese brings a whole new level of flavor and texture.

    • If you have a griddle in the backyard and wonder what to make for dinner, this Blackstone Chicken Fried Rice is for you. This chicken fried rice is perfect for those nights when you have no idea what to make for dinner and don't want to order pizza.
      Blackstone Chicken Fried Rice
    • Flank Steak grilled on the Blackstone is a great way for a fun and savory meal done all outdoors. Our marinade is easy to make and brings out the natural flavor of the steak. The whole recipe, including the sides, is done on the griddle. Best of all, each of the steps flows into the next. The only time you need to watch the clock is for grilling the flank steak.

    Equipment

    • Outdoor griddle, 36-inch (Skillet)
    • 7 by 7 pan or mixing bowl
    • 2 Forks
    • 2 Griddle Spatulas

    Ingredients
      

    • Loaf brioche bread
    • 4 eggs
    • ¼ cup milk
    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Instructions
     

    Preheat and prepare

    • Turn the griddle on low to preheat.
    • Cut the brioche bread loaf into about 1-inch slices and set aside.
    • Prepare the French toast mixture in a small pan with a flat bottom. It makes it easier to dip the brioche slices by the griddle. Simply add the eggs, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and whisk until combined.
    • Once the griddle is preheated, increase the burners to medium-low about 425 – 435 degrees F.

    Griddling the Brioche French Toast

    • Once everything is ready, head out to the griddle. We have a side table, which works great for dipping and then placing the brioche slices on the griddle.
    • If you have a larger griddle with multiple burns, turn off a side one if you do not need it. It works great as a holding area.
    • Dip the brioche slices in the French toast mixture to coat and flip to coat the other side.
    • Place the first 2 slices on the griddle for about 2 -3 minutes and flip. Continue cooking for an additional 2 – 3 minutes. Remix the French toast mixture to keep the cinnamon even, as needed. Continue adding brioche slices until done.
    • As the first pieces finish cooking, put them over on the side holding area.

    Serve and Enjoy

    • Once you have finished the Brioche French toast, collect them off the griddle holding area.
    • Serve right onto the plates or bring them inside with a serving tray.
    • Topping time, we did powdered sugar and some fresh blueberries and strawberries on the side. Oh, don’t forget the maple syrup.

    • Have ever seen the big Bone in Ribeye at the butcher counter and wondered how can I cook it? It is easier than you think. Best of all you get a dino rib as a bonus. The answer I have found to cooking this thick "Cowboy Cut" Angus ribeye is to reverse sear the steak. It is ideal for this. If you cook more than one, you can vary the level of doneness for each much easier.
