Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices brioche
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Slice the brioche into 1-inch thick slices.
- Whisk together eggs, whole milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
- Dip brioche slices in the egg mixture for 5–10 seconds on each side.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook bread until golden, about 3–4 minutes per side.
- Keep finished slices warm in an oven if making multiple batches.
- Serve with maple syrup, confectioners' sugar, and fresh berries.
Notes
Use slightly stale brioche for optimal soaking without mushiness.
Room temperature eggs create a smoother custard.
For a lighter option, use non-stick spray instead of butter.
