A delightful twist on the classic French toast, this recipe combines rich caramel flavors with the soft texture of brioche bread.
Melt the butter, brown sugar, and honey in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth.
Stir constantly to prevent the caramel from burning.
Pour the caramel mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Tilt the dish to ensure the caramel coats the bottom evenly.
Arrange the brioche slices in a single layer over the caramel.
Cut the bread to fit the dish snugly for even soaking.
Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for a smooth custard.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread slices.
Press the bread gently to help it absorb the custard.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
This allows the flavors to meld and the bread to fully soak up the custard.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Bake the dish uncovered for 35-40 minutes until puffed and golden.
Check the center to ensure it's set before removing from the oven.
Serve warm, flipping each piece to display the caramelized side on top.
Garnish with fresh fruit or a dusting of powdered sugar for a beautiful presentation.
