Ingredients

Scale

4 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk (or half-and-half for extra richness)
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp butter (divided, for frying)
10 slices day-old brioche (1″ thick)
½ cup warm maple syrup
Fresh berries (optional)

Instructions

Make Custard: In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and pale.
Preheat Pan: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt 1 tbsp butter until it sizzles gently.
Soak Bread: Dip brioche slices in custard—3 seconds per side. Don’t oversoak!
Cook: Fry 2–3 slices at a time for 2–3 mins per side until golden and set. Keep warm on a rack in a 200°F oven.
Repeat: Add butter between batches. Finish cooking all slices.

Notes

Stack slices, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with berries. Dust with powdered sugar or add whipped cream for flair.
