Serves: 2
INGREDIENTS
- 4 pieces of brioche bread, preferably one day old
- 1 cup of milk
- 4 eggs
- Pinch of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
- 1/2 cup of corn oil
- Unsalted butter
- Fairway maple syrup
DIRECTIONS
- Heat half a cup of corn oil in a heavy pan large enough to hold all four pieces of bread comfortably.
- Mix the milk, eggs, cinnamon and vanilla together in a bowl large enough to hold the bread.
- Soak the slices of bread long enough to absorb the milk mixture all the way through.
- The oil should be hot, but not smoking. Place all four pieces into the oil and let sit until golden brown. Be careful not to brown too quickly so the inside has time to cook.
- Turn the pieces over and cook until golden brown on the other side. Turn over one more time and let cook for another two minutes.
- Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel and pat dry.
- Place one piece each on four warm plates. Place a pat of cold butter in the center on each piece. Sprinkle with cinnamon, and pour a little maple syrup over the butter.
