If you have ever wondered how to make Mimi’s cinnamon roll french toast, you’re in luck! You can make your family’s taste buds happy and try out this recipe at home, courtesy of Mimi’s Cafe. here’s how to make brioche French toast:

Ingredients needed to make the best French toast:

  • eggs
  • half & half
  • sugar
  • salt
  • cinnamon
  • vanilla
  • orange zest
  • brioche cinnamon rolls -or- cinnamon-swirled brioche bread
  • powdered sugar

How to make brioche French toast

Heat a medium-sized pan to medium heat. This will be your griddle.

Now, we will make the French toast batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, half and half, sugar, spices, vanilla, and orange zest. Whisk the mixture until it is well combined and set aside.

Dip each cinnamon roll in French toast batter until moist, but well drained. Be careful not to completely soak the bread or your French toast will be soggy!

Spray the griddle or nonstick pan with non‐stick spray and place the dipped French toast onto the griddle. Brown the cinnamon brioche bread for approximately 2 minutes, then flip and griddle the other side for another 2 minutes.

Plate your brunch by placing two pieces of French toast on a plate, sprinkle them with powdered sugar, and serve with maple syrup, butter, and your favorite breakfast sides (we love scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, and breakfast potatoes!).
