1
Prepare the Egg Custard
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined and smooth.
2
Soak the Brioche
Place the slices of brioche bread into the egg custard mixture, allowing them to soak for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are well coated.

3
Heat the Pan
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can add a small amount of butter to the pan for extra flavor.
4
Cook the French Toast
Once the skillet is hot, place the soaked brioche slices onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

5
Plate and Serve
Remove the cooked French toast from the skillet and place it on a plate. Top with seasonal fruit, drizzle with maple syrup, and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm.
