Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Egg Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined and frothy.

Prepare the Bread
Take the brioche slices and ensure they are thick enough to hold the batter without falling apart. If they are not pre-sliced, slice them to about 1-inch thickness.
Cooking
- 3
Dip the Bread
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Dip each slice of brioche into the egg batter, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly soaked.
