  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon of butter

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
  2. Place a frying pan or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter.
  3. Dip each slice of brioche into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
  4. Carefully place the soaked brioche in the heated pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Notes

Use day-old brioche for better results, allowing it to soak up more custard.
