Step 1
Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 90 seconds of whisking by hand.
Step 2
Slice brioche loaf into 1-inch-thick slices. Halve each slice horizontally without cutting all the way through, leaving a hinge on one side.
Step 3
Spoon whipped cream and berries into the pocket of each brioche slice. Close gently.
Step 4
Whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla in a shallow bowl until fully combined.
Step 5
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium until foamy, about 90 seconds.
Step 6
Working with 2 stuffed brioche at a time, dip both sides in egg batter for 2 seconds each—do not soak.
Step 7
Slide into the hot skillet and cook 3 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining 1 tbsp butter and the 2 remaining brioche slices.
Step 9
Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
