Ingredients
  • 4 thick slices of brioche bread
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
  1. 1In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
  2. 2Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter to grease the surface.
  3. 3Soak each slice of brioche in the custard mixture for about 2-3 minutes on each side, allowing the bread to absorb the richness.
  4. 4Once the skillet is hot, place the soaked brioche slices carefully in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  5. 5Remove the French toast from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven (about 200°F or 93°C) while you cook the remaining slices.
  6. 6To serve, stack the French toast on a plate, top with mixed berries, drizzle with maple syrup, and dust with powdered sugar. Garnish with mint leaves for an elegant touch.
