There's no question that this is the best French toast recipe ever. The caramelized exterior meets a soft custardlike center that practically melts in your mouth. Not only that, but it's quick and easy, too! —Audrey Rompon, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups half-and-half cream
3 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
8 slices day-old brioche bread (1 inch thick)
Optional toppings: Butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream and confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a shallow dish, whisk together the first 7 ingredients. Preheat a greased griddle over medium heat.
Dip bread into egg mixture, letting it soak 5 seconds on each side. Cook on griddle until golden brown on both sides. Serve with toppings as desired.

Using day-old bread from a bakery helps the French toast to keep its shape. If you're using commercially produced brioche, be sure to allow the bread to become slightly stale for best results.
