Ingredients
- 4 thick slices brioche or challah bread (about 1-inch thick)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (plus more for serving)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined.
- 2
Heat butter and oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until the butter has melted and is foamy.

Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, letting it soak for 15-20 seconds per side. Let excess egg mixture drip off.

Transfer to plates. Dust with powdered sugar.

Pro Tips
💡
Day-old bread absorbs the egg mixture better without becoming soggy - thick-cut brioche or challah is ideal.
💡
Keep the heat at medium - too high burns the outside before the custard inside is cooked.
💡
The moment you flip is everything - wait until the edges look set and bubbles appear on the surface.
