Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Wash

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, demerara sugar, ground cinnamon, and milk until well combined. Set aside.

Cooking

    Soak the Brioche

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg wash, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly soggy.

    Cook the Brioche

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