Ingredients

• 6 thick slices brioche bread¹
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 3 Tbsp pure maple syrup, plus more for serving
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
• optional: confectioners (powdered) sugar, for serving
• 1 cup blueberries²
• 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together, then whisk in the milk until well-combined. Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla, and spices.
• Dip the sliced brioche in the custard mixture, letting the bread generously soak up the custard. Gently shake off the excess, and transfer to a lightly greased or parchment paper lined rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes, then flip and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
• Serve immediately with butter, maple syrup, confectioners sugar, and the saucy blueberries.
• While the French toast is baking, add the blueberries and maple syrup to a medium sauce pot over medium heat.
• Cook, stirring often, until the berries begin to slightly break down and release their juices, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve over the French toast.
