Preparation

• 1.

  In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

• 2.

  Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter to grease the surface.

• 3.

  Soak each slice of brioche in the custard mixture for about 2-3 minutes on each side, allowing the bread to absorb the richness.

• 4.

  Once 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.

  Remove 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.

  To 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.
