1
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

2
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet or griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat.
3
Dunk the Brioche
Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Allow excess mixture to drip off.
4
Cook the French Toast
Place the coated brioche slices in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter as needed for additional slices.

5
Plate and Garnish
Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar on top.
