Cook the French Toast
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp of butter. Dip each slice of brioche in the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds. Cook each slice on the skillet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining bread, adding more butter as needed.
