Directions

1

Prepare the Batter

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

2

Dip the Bread

Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.

3

Cook the French Toast

Place the soaked bread slices on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread.

4

Serve

Serve the French toast warm, topped with fresh strawberries and a drizzle of cane syrup butter.
