Nothing tastes better on a slow Sunday morning than Brioche French Toast. Buttery bread, well spiced, with warm maple syrup. You can find Brioche at most local grocery stores. Be sure that the slices are about 1/4 inch thick. You want as much surface as you can to soak up the delicious egg custard. Its a classic recipe that everyone will love. Recipe adapted from Robert Irvine.
