Cinnamon Pain Perdu

Name: Cinnamon Pain Perdu
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 15 min
Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 200 g Brioche (day-old, thick slices); 2 large Eggs; 120 ml Whole Milk; 15 g Granulated Sugar; 1 tsp Cinnamon (ground); 1 tsp Vanilla Extract; 30 g Unsalted Butter; 100 g Strawberries (hulled and sliced); 75 g Blueberries; 30 ml Maple Syrup

Day-old brioche soaks in a cinnamon and vanilla custard, then fries in butter until crisp. Serve it with fresh berries and maple syrup.

Fresh brioche turns to mush in custard, so use a loaf that has sat out for a day and cut it about 2 cm thick. Keep the soak short: 1 minute a side is enough for a slice that is wet on the surface but still holds its shape. Before plating, press the center with a fingertip; it should spring back, not sink. If the butter browns too fast, drop the heat to medium-low.
