US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. You want to use a bowl that is shallow/wide enough you can dip and soak the bread in. A shallow pan like a 9x13 pan or a 9inch pie pan works great!
4 large eggs, ¾ cup whole milk , 1½ tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp cinnamon
Heat your skillet over medium heat. When the skillet gets hot, melt some butter in the pan (I used about ¼-½ tbsp of butter per piece of bread).
butter
Take your brioche bread and dip one side into the egg mixture- let it soak for 15-20 seconds and then flip it and repeat. Pick up the bread and carefully shake the excess egg off and place it in the skillet. You can make 2 pieces at a time, or more if your skillet is big enough.
8 slices of brioche bread
Cook toast for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. If you feel like your bread is getting too brown you can turn down the heat.
Serve immediately. Top with your favorite toppings- syrup, butter, powdered sugar, fruit, and whipped cream are some great toppings!

Notes

Turn your oven to 200° F before making the french toast and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Once you're done cooking a piece or two, place it on the baking sheet and put it into the oven until ready to serve. This will keep your toast warm!
French toast can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. To reheat, warm a skillet and heat on both sides. You can also heat it up in the microwave.
To freeze, allow the french toast to cool completely. Place in a freezer-safe container or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. To defrost, place in the fridge the night before.
