"My husband absolutely loves a delicious sugary breakfast, so for his birthday I made a Browned Butter Brioche French Toast (do I need to give you a moment to clean up your drool? I’ll wait.). I thought using brioche bread would take it to the next level, but what really makes this oh-so-good is the browned butter drizzled over it. Ohhhh man is it good. The french toast is so perfect with just the browned butter and a sprinkle of powdered sugar, but if you’re like my husband and kids — or Buddy the Elf — you can add syrup and really go nuts with the sugar. Put this on your weekend menu and don’t forget to tell me know how much you love it!"
