Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick brioche bread

2 large eggs

1/2 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons water

Fresh berries (for garnish)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

    Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of brioche into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 30 seconds on each side to absorb the flavors. Ensure both sides are well coated.

      Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter, letting it melt and sizzle.

        Caramelize the Sugar: In a separate small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and water, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Cook over medium heat until it starts to bubble and caramelize slightly (for about 3-5 minutes).

          Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked brioche slices in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. You can drizzle a spoonful of caramel sauce over the pieces while they cook for added flavor.

            Serve with Style: Once done, stack the caramelized French toast on a plate. Drizzle with the remaining caramel sauce, garnish with fresh berries, and serve with maple syrup on the side.
