Well, let me tell ya, if you ever get a hankerin’ for somethin’ real sweet and rich for breakfast, this here stuffed brioche French toast with orange marmalade will surely fill you right up. It’s one of them treats that makes your mouth water just thinkin’ about it. I ain’t no fancy cook, but this recipe is somethin’ anyone can make, and it don’t take much either.
Now, first thing you gotta do is gather up your ingredients. Ain’t no need to get all picky, just get the basics and you’ll be fine. Here’s what you need:
- 4 slices of brioche bread (fresh, soft, the fluffier the better)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of milk (or cream if you want it extra rich)
- 1/4 cup of orange marmalade (the kind with little bits of orange peel is best)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (or more if you like it spicy)
- Butter for frying (don’t be shy with it)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional, but makes it look fancy)
- Fresh orange zest (for that extra zing, though you can skip this if you ain’t got it)
Alright, once you got all that together, we can get to cookin’. First, you gotta crack them eggs into a big ol’ bowl, and pour in your milk. Now, add in that vanilla and cinnamon, and give it all a good whiskin’ until it’s nice and smooth. Don’t be shy, make sure it’s all mixed up well.
Next, take your brioche bread and slice it up real thick-like, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. Now, spread a nice heaping spoonful of orange marmalade on the inside of each slice. If you want to get real fancy, you can even add a bit of creme fraiche or whipped cream, but marmalade alone will do just fine.
Once you got all your slices stuffed up with that sweet marmalade, you’re ready to dip ’em in that egg mixture. You wanna soak each slice real good in the egg wash, but don’t let it get too soggy. Just a quick dunk will do the trick.
Now, heat up a skillet over medium heat and drop a good chunk of butter on there. Let it melt nice and slow – you don’t want it burnin’, just sizzling. Once the butter’s melted, lay your stuffed brioche slices in the pan. You might wanna do two at a time, depending on the size of your skillet.
Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. When they’re done, take ‘em out and place ‘em on a baking sheet to keep warm. If you got more slices to cook, just keep adding butter to the pan as needed.
Once all your slices are cooked up, you can dust ‘em with a little powdered sugar to make ‘em look real nice, and maybe sprinkle on some fresh orange zest for that extra citrus kick. Ain’t nobody gonna be able to resist that smell. The sweetness of the marmalade and the richness of the brioche bread just makes your taste buds dance.
Serve this here stuffed brioche French toast warm, and if you’re feelin’ extra indulgent, you can pour a little syrup on top, though I think it’s sweet enough on its own. Maybe add a few berries or a dollop of whipped cream, but that’s up to you. Just don’t forget a hot cup of coffee or tea to wash it down with, ’cause this here is a breakfast to remember.
So, whether you’re makin’ it for a special breakfast or just treatin’ yourself, this recipe for stuffed brioche French toast with orange marmalade is sure to hit the spot. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
