Method

Preparation

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    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

  1. 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.

  2. 4

    Cook the French Toast

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

Serving

  1. 5

    Plating the French Toast

    Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a serving plate. Top with fresh berries, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a dusting of powdered sugar as desired.
