Thick brioche is soaked in vanilla custard, griddled until golden, and topped with a crisp caramelized sugar shell. A warm Biscoff drizzle adds buttery spice to this indulgent breakfast-for-one.

Steps

Whisk the egg, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in a shallow dish.
Lay the brioche in the custard for about 30 seconds per side, until soaked but still sturdy.
Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the bread for 3–4 minutes per side, until deeply golden and set in the center.
Transfer to a heatproof plate. Sprinkle the remaining sugar evenly over the top and caramelize it with a kitchen torch until melted and amber; let the crisp top set briefly.
Stir the Biscoff spread with the hot water until pourable, then drizzle around or over the toast. Serve immediately.

Tips for Biscoff Crème Brûlée French Toast

A shallow, wide bowl makes it easier to soak the brioche evenly without breaking it.
Keep the sugar layer thin and even; clumps can burn before the rest turns glassy.
If using a torch, keep it moving and protect the plate from direct flame.

Drink pairing

A cup of black coffee
Its roasted bitterness balances the sweet cookie butter and rich custard.

Storage

Best eaten immediately for a crisp sugar top. Refrigerate any leftover toast within 2 hours and use within 3–4 days; reheat until steaming hot, though the caramelized topping will soften.
