Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • olive oil or coconut spray
  • 16 ounces brioche (cut into 2-inch cubes)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups half & half
  • 1/4 cup salted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon gingerbread spice mix

Instruction

  • Lightly spray a 9x13 baking dish with oil and add in all of the cubed brioche.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, salt, vanilla and half and half. Then pour evenly over the brioche and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Next preheat your oven to 350°.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Remove off of the heat and stir in the sugar and gingerbread spice. Allow to cool slightly and then pour it over top of the chilled custard-soaked brioche.
  • Cover the baking pan with foil and slide it onto the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil, rotate the pan and continue to bake for 15 to 20 minutes more or until the top is golden brown.
  • A knife should come out clean after inserted.
  • Allow the gingerbread French toast bake to cool for 5 minutes or so before serving.
