Ingredients
Scale
- 4 thick slices of brioche bread
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Maple syrup for serving
- Powdered sugar for serving
- Fresh berries for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl until frothy.
- Prepare thick slices of day-old bread, and submerge each slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides.

For a healthier version, try cooking in an air fryer. Soaking bread for just 30 seconds prevents sogginess.
