Bread

Egg Batter

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the egg batter

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined and slightly frothy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the bread

    Take the brioche bread and slice it if not already sliced. You should have 4 thick slices for the French toast.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Dip the bread

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg batter, making sure to coat both sides well but not soak it too long.

  2. 4

    Cook the French toast

    Place the dipped bread slices onto the heated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the French toast

    Once cooked, remove the slices from the skillet and place them on serving plates.

  2. 6

    Add toppings

    Top the French toast with fresh berries, drizzle with maple syrup, and dust with powdered sugar as desired.
