Prep Time: 10 min · Cook Time: 15 min · Serves: 4

🛒 Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp Summa Salt’s Coffee Salt
  • 8 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or challah)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 6 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp butter (plus more for cooking)
  • Caramel sauce, for serving
  • Powdered sugar (optional)

👨🍳 Instructions:

  1. Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, melted butter, and half the Coffee Salt.
  2. Dip bread into the mixture, coating well but not soaking too long. Let excess drip off.
  3. Melt a knob of butter in the skillet. Cook soaked bread 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Spoon extra custard on top while cooking if desired.
  4. Work in batches, adding butter between rounds. Keep cooked toast warm in a 200°F oven.
  5. To serve, stack toast, drizzle with caramel, dust with powdered sugar, and crack more Coffee Salt on top. Enjoy immediately.
