Ingredients
6 slices brioche bread (slightly stale)
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
40g unsalted butter
250g strawberries (for garnish)
1 tbsp white sugar (for maceration)
Instructions
Whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla in a shallow bowl until uniform.
Vigorously whisk ensures spices are fully integrated.
Melt 15g of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until foaming.
Quickly dunk each slice into the custard, coating both sides without over-saturating.
Place slices in the skillet without overcrowding.
Cook for 2.5 to 3 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms.
Transfer to a plate and serve warm with macerated strawberries.
Notes
Using stale bread is critical to prevent a soggy texture. Do not skip the maceration time for the strawberries to draw out their natural juices.
