Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 slices sourdough brioche 3/4 inch / 2 cm thick
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp butter melted
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp butter for frying

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and add the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Combine all wet ingredients.

  • In a medium frypan, melt 1 tsp of butter on medium heat. Add the soaked slices to the frying pan and bake each side for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the slice from the pan and repeat the process for all other slices.
    1 tbsp butter
  • Serve with fresh or frozen raspberries, a dollop of greek yogurt, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
    1/2 cup raspberries, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp maple syrup

Notes

The batter should have the consistency of thick, wet paint. Add a dash more milk if it's too thick.
If you're using stale sourdough sandwich bread or a classic sourdough boule instead of brioche, make sure to soak sourdough bread for longer.
Be generous with the butter when frying the French toast or it will burn easily. Cook it on medium heat until the toast turns golden brown and the batter starts to crisp up and caramelize.
