Brioche French Toast

Looking for a special and decadent breakfast for Valentine’s Day to serve up to your special little pampered sweethearts? Have the kids and hubby been especially good lately? This recipe will not just feed your crowd, but bring them back for more. When my husband tasted it he absolutely couldn’t utter a word for at least two minutes. And even though he always mentions how good his meal is, he mentioned it repeatedly today. This recipe is a keeper! Top with a dollop of whip cream!For more romantic recipes see my Red Velvet Sweetheart Collection! Or For more breakfast choices please visit this post, 10 Great Breakfasts.

  8. I can’t wait to try your version; thanks for having it out there.
    Apparently IHOP is removing this from their menu, according to my waiter.
    I didn’t see it on their online menu, so I’m thinking it’s already gone.
    This is the only reason I even went to IHOP. Best breakfast item ever 🙁

    • They did remove it from their menu. But you can still have it just know how to order it. Say you want the brioche french toast with the cinnamon glaze and cream cheese icing. The waiter will try and say that they dont think they have that but they resllu do. Ask nicely if they can please go in the kitchen and ask the cook. They do it have it though. Dennys brioche french toast is really good as well
