Ingredients
Scale
Brioche Bread:
- 6 slices brioche bread (1-inch thick)
Egg Mixture:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For Cooking:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
For Serving:

- maple syrup and fresh berries
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Dip and Soak: Dip each slice of brioche into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 20 seconds per side.
