Classic Brioche French Toast with Berries

Preparación

1. 1

   Rinse the mixed fresh berries gently under cold water, drain well, and set them aside.

2. 2

   Crack the eggs into a large, shallow bowl. Add the whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.

3. 3

   Whisk the custard mixture thoroughly until the eggs are fully incorporated and the sugar has mostly dissolved.

4. 4

   Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt a portion of the unsalted butter over the cooking surface.

5. 5

   Working in batches, place each brioche slice in the custard. Soak it for about 15 to 20 seconds per side, allowing it to absorb the mixture without becoming overly soft.

6. 6

   Let the excess custard drip from each slice, then transfer the soaked brioche to the hot skillet or griddle.

7. 7

   Cook the French toast for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown, lightly crisp around the edges, and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

8. 8

   Add more butter to the skillet between batches and repeat until all the brioche slices have been cooked.
