Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Custard

  • 4 thick slices of brioche bread
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit Toppings

  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

For Cooking and Garnish

  • Butter, for cooking
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Fresh berries, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the custard mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined to create the custard base for the French toast.
  2. Soak the bread: Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side so the bread absorbs the custard.
  3. Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add a knob of butter, melting it to coat the pan evenly for cooking the bread.
  4. Cook the French toast: Place the soaked brioche slices onto the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, approximately 2-3 minutes per side, ensuring they are cooked through but remain soft inside.
  5. Arrange on platter: Remove the French toast slices from the skillet and arrange them neatly on a serving platter ready for toppings.
  6. Add fruit toppings: Top each slice with a generous layer of sliced bananas and scatter mixed berries evenly over each piece to add freshness and flavor.
  7. Dust with powdered sugar: Lightly dust the French toast with powdered sugar for an elegant touch and a hint of sweetness.
  8. Garnish and serve: Garnish the serving platter with additional fresh berries and serve the banana berry French toast warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Use day-old brioche bread for better absorption of the custard without becoming too soggy.
  • Substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free variation.
  • Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the custard mixture for extra flavor.
  • Serve with maple syrup or honey if you prefer additional sweetness.
  • For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based milk and vegan butter.
