French toast

You know that moment when you find day-old brioche sitting on your counter and think "what now?" Well, we've got the perfect answer – classic French pain perdu that'll make your kitchen smell amazing and your kids think you're a breakfast genius! This is comfort food at its finest, turning yesterday's bread into today's star with our rich Peanut Milk Chocolate spread melting into every bite.

There's something magical about this simple French tradition – it's like giving your leftover brioche a delicious second life. We love how our Peanut Milk Chocolate spread becomes the perfect partner here, creating those gooey pockets of chocolatey goodness that make kids (and let's be honest, adults too) do a little happy dance at the breakfast table. It's the kind of recipe that transforms ordinary mornings into something special, using ingredients you probably already have at home. Trust us, once you try this combination, you'll be hoping for leftover brioche just so you can make it again!

Makes about 3-4 french toasts

Ingredients

100g whole milk
400g heavy cream
50g egg yolks (about 3 large yolks)
25g sugar
3-4 thick slices day-old brioche
Butter for cooking
Any Au pralin spread: for the magic

Instructions

Step 1: Create the custard

Whisk together the milk, cream, egg yolks, and sugar in a large bowl until completely smooth.

Step 2: The overnight soak

Submerge your brioche slices in the custard mixture and let them soak overnight in the fridge.

Step 3: The perfect cook

Heat a little butter in your pan and cook the soaked brioche until golden. The magic happens when you transfer them to the oven – they'll puff up beautifully as they finish cooking.

The Au Pralin magic!!

While still warm, drizzle some of our Au Pralin spreads over the finished French toasts.

Pro tip: Serve immediately while they're still puffed and golden – this is comfort food at its finest, elevated by our spreads.
