Trader Joe's Pumpkin Brioche French Toast
Servings: 4
Equipment
- 1 griddle
- butter or cooking spray
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Trader Joe's Pumpkin Brioche Twist bread
- 5 eggs
- 2 cups milk (I used 2%)
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 splash heavy whipping cream or half and half (optional, for richness)
- Trader Joe's Maple Butter (for serving)
Instructions
- Heat a large frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Grease lightly with butter or cooking spray.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, salt, and a splash of heavy cream or half-and-half.
- Dip each slice of bread into the mixture for 2–10 seconds, depending on desired softness.
- Let any excess drip off, then place the bread on the hot griddle.
- Cook until golden brown on both sides and heated through, adjusting the time depending on whether you like a softer, custardy center or a firmer texture.
- Serve warm, topped with maple butter.
Notes
One loaf of Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Brioche Twist has about 9 slices, which serves around 4 people. The custard mixture usually makes enough for a second loaf, too. If you need more, just add 1–2 extra eggs and 1–2 cups of milk.
