Prepare the French Toast
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

Cook the French Toast
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the dipped brioche slices to the skillet, cooking until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining butter and bread.

Make the Whipped Cream
In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

Prepare the Fruit Compote
