Directions
A tested, step-by-step cooking guide
Whisk eggs with milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt, then briefly soak the brioche slices. Cook them in butter in a skillet until golden on both sides and set in the center.
2. Soak the brioche
Dip each brioche slice in the egg mixture for about 10 seconds per side, letting excess drip back into the bowl.
Tip: Avoid soaking for too long, or the slices may become difficult to handle.
3. Heat the skillet
Melt half the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat until it foams gently.
4. Cook the slices
Cook the soaked bread in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden outside and set through the center; add more butter between batches.
Tip: Lower the heat if the outside browns before the center sets.
