Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it foams, about 90 seconds.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer to a plate. Serve hot with maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
