French Toast
1 - Add 2 egg yolks and one whole egg to a large mixing bowl.
Tip: We store our ingredients in these mixing bowls and mini glass bowls from Duralex while cooking. We love Duralex for their quality products and low prices!
2 - Add in the xylitol and whisk the eggs until well combined.
3 - To a saucepan (or like us a saucier pan), add the milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Using a silicone spatula, stir everything together and place it over high heat. Bring the milk to a boil before removing it and allow it to cool down slightly.
4 - Pour the slightly cool milk into the egg and sugar mix. Whisk everything together until combined before transferring it back to the saucepan.
5 - Cook it on medium-low heat for 4 minutes while continuously stirring with a silicone spatula. Then, transfer it to a shallow glass container.
6 - Slice the brioche into thick slices using a bread knife and place them one by one into the milk mixture. Allow each slice to soak on both sides for 5 minutes each before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Tip: Sabatier knives are excellent French blades we recommend for professional and home cooks.
7 - Add butter to a cast-iron skillet and allow it to gently melt over medium heat. Once it has melted, add one slice of the soaked bread. Allow it to cook on medium-high for 4 minutes before flipping it and allowing it to cook for another 4 minutes. Repeat this process with each slice.
8 - Once all the slices are cooked, stack them on a plate and serve them with the syrup of your choice. This 100% Pure Vermont Maple Syrup is our favorite!
9 - Enjoy!
