Name: Cinnamon brioche French toast
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 2 large eggs; 80 ml whole milk; 40 ml double cream; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 0.5 tsp cinnamon; 4 thick slices brioche; 2 tbsp vegetable oil; 2 tbsp butter; 0 icing sugar and berries (optional)

Golden brioche with vanilla, cinnamon and optional fresh berries.

2 large eggs
80 ml whole milk
40 ml double cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
0.5 tsp cinnamon
4 thick slices brioche
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp butter
0 icing sugar and berries (optional)

Beat the eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and cinnamon together in a wide dish. Soak each slice of brioche for 2–3 minutes, then turn it over and give the second side about 2 minutes.
Warm half of the butter and oil in a non-stick pan on medium. Cook the soaked slices two at a time, about 3 minutes per side, until they are well browned and no longer wet in the middle. Add the rest of the butter and oil for the second batch.
Finish with a dusting of icing sugar and fresh berries if you have them.
