Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Whisk milk, eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl.

  3. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, dip each slice of brioche bread in the egg mixture and cook in the hot butter until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding more butter as needed. Transfer French toast to a baking sheet.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until puffed, 8 to 10 minutes.

  5. Cook and stir 1/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium-low heat until browned and toasty, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer browned butter to a cold dish. Drizzle browned butter over baked French toast and top each slice with 1 tablespoon maple syrup.

Recipe Note

Probably the best French toast ever. Finishing it in the oven ensures that even thick slices are not runny or underdone. Browned butter also adds a nutty, caramel twist to the usual maple goodness.
