Ingredients

1 brioche loaf, in 8 thick slices
4 eggs
1 cup milk or half-and-half
butter, for the pan
maple syrup
berries

From your pantry: 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla, pinch of salt, powdered sugar.

Instructions

Whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt in a shallow dish.
Leave the bread out for an hour (or toast lightly) so it's a little dry. It soaks up more custard.
Dip each slice for about 10 seconds per side.
Cook in butter over medium heat until deep golden, 3 minutes per side.
Serve with maple syrup, berries and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Tip: Keep finished slices in a 200°F oven on a rack while you cook the rest.
