Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Cooking spray for Crock-Pot
  • 1 large brioche (or challah), preferably day-old
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • Small pinch nutmeg
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Powdered sugar, for serving

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Lightly grease the inside of your Crock-Pot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Slice the brioche into thick slices, then quarter each slice. Place the bread chunks into the slow cooker.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg until smooth.
  4. Pour the custard evenly over the bread in the Crock-Pot. Gently fold the bread with a spatula to make sure every piece is coated.
  5. Set your slow cooker to low and cook for 2 ½ to 3 hours. The French toast is ready when it's set and slightly golden on the edges.
  6. Serve warm with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
