Ingredients
French Toast Ingredients
- 4 large eggs ($1.24)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk ($2.23)
- ½ cup milk ($0.09)
- ½ tsp cinnamon ($0.04)
- 1 brioche loaf, sliced ($3.42)
Sauce Ingredients
- ¾ cup salted butter ($1.59)
- 1 ¼ cup brown sugar ($1.02)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract ($0.47)
To Garnish
- 2 Tbsp powdered sugar ($0.06)
- 1 cup mixed berries (frozen or fresh!) ($1.79)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 350F and butter an 8×10 casserole or baking dish. Whisk together eggs, sweetened condensed milk, milk, and cinnamon.

Gently dip a slice of brioche bread in the egg mixture. I find that brioche absorbs the egg mixture very fast compared to sourdough, so you don't want it to sit in the mixture; just a quick dip to make sure it's covered, and then transfer it to a greased 8×10 baking dish. (Important: See note.)

In a small saucepan, add sauce ingredients: butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and melt over medium heat until creamy and just a little bubbly, about 6-8 minutes. Don't cook for too long, or it will turn into a tacky caramel instead of a sauce.

Pour warm sauce over the top of dipped and arranged brioche.

Bake uncovered** for 30 min with the 8×10 baking dish on top of a cookie sheet! You may experience some bubbles that run off the side, and you don't want this delicious breakfast to make a mess in your oven.

Let cool for 10-15 minutes. Then, top with powdered sugar and mixed berries.
