Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices brioche bread Cut thickly to absorb the custard
  • 1 cup buttermilk Tenderizes the crumb
  • 4 large eggs Binds the liquid base
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar Sweetens the interior slightly
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Provides a warm aromatic foundation
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon Adds an earthy spice
  • 1 pinch salt Balances the sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons butter or cooking spray For searing the bread
  • maple syrup and fresh berries For serving

Equipment

  • 1 wide bowl For dipping the bread easily
  • 1 Whisk To blend the custard smoothly
  • 1 Large skillet or griddle For searing the slices
  • 1 Spatula For flipping the bread safely

Method
 

  1. Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a wide bowl until completely smooth.
    A metal whisk stirs a pale yellow, speckled liquid inside a smooth ceramic bowl.
  2. Melt a small amount of butter on a large skillet over medium heat to preheat the cooking surface.
  3. Submerge each brioche slice into the egg mixture briefly, then gently shake off any excess liquid.
    Hands dip a thick slice of soft bread into a pale, spiced egg mixture.
  4. Cook the coated bread for three to four minutes on each side until deeply browned and puffed.
