Ingredients

  • 8 slices brioche bread
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
  • Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until smooth.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter.
  3. Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly without soaking too long.
  4. Place the bread slices onto the hot skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  5. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
  6. Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, berries, or your favorite toppings.

Tips

  • Use slightly stale brioche bread for the best texture.
  • Do not oversoak the bread or it may become too soft.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the outside before the inside cooks.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warm flavor.
  • Top with bananas, strawberries, whipped cream, or chocolate drizzle for a special touch.
