Method

Preparation

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Dip the Brioche

    Take each slice of brioche bread and dip it into the egg batter, ensuring it is fully coated on both sides. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

  2. 4

    Cook the French Toast

    Place the dipped brioche slices onto the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.

Serving

  1. 5

    Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately. Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and add fresh berries if desired.
