Step 1
Slice brioche into 1-inch-thick pieces (4 slices total). Whisk eggs with milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a shallow bowl.
Step 2
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it foams, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Dip each brioche slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides for 2–3 seconds per side—don't oversoak or it will fall apart.
Step 4
Place coated slices in the skillet in a single layer. Cook 3 minutes per side until the edges turn deep golden and the surface looks crispy.
Step 5
Transfer to a plate. Serve hot with maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
