Equipment

  • Shallow Dish for the custard
  • Whisk
  • Griddle or nonstick skillet
  • Spatula

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 loaf Brioche
  • 3 Eggs
  • ½ cup Milk
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter

Optional Toppings

Instructions
 

  • In a flat dish (think 9x9 cake pan or pie dish) mix together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Keep a fork or whisk nearby as the cinnamon likes to clump.
  • Turn your griddle to 300-350 degrees or medium heat for a stovetop.
  • Generously coat your skillet with butter right when you are ready to start cooking.
  • One at a time, dip your brioche slice into your egg mixture and say "1 Mississippi", flip it over, and repeat.
  • Move each slice onto your buttered skillet and cook for around 2 minutes per side or until lightly crisp and golden.
  • Serve with warm syrup, whipped cream, powdered sugar, cinnamon, or berries. Or all of them. No judgment.
  • Live your best life and have a beautiful day!

Notes

  • Slightly stale brioche is ideal. Day-old bread soaks up the custard without going soggy; very fresh bread can fall apart.
  • Don't oversoak: A quick dip per side (that "1 Mississippi") keeps the center custardy, not wet.
  • Keep it warm: Hold finished slices on a rack in a 200°F oven while you cook the rest.
  • Storage: Refrigerate 2-3 days and reheat in a toaster or 350°F oven to re-crisp.
  • Make-ahead: Freeze cooked slices between parchment and reheat straight from frozen.
