Method

Preparation of Egg Mixture

  1. 1

    Make the egg batter

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Soaking the Bread

  1. 2

    Soak the brioche slices

    Place the brioche slices into the egg mixture, ensuring each slice is thoroughly coated. Allow them to soak for about 2-3 minutes on each side, letting the bread absorb the mixture.

Cooking the French Toast

  1. 3

    Heat the pan

    In a large skillet or griddle, melt the butter over medium heat until it is bubbling but not browned.

  2. 4

    Cook the soaked bread

    Carefully place the soaked brioche slices onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Make sure to adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate and serve

    Once cooked, transfer the French toast to plates. Drizzle with maple syrup and dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm.
