# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk everything together until smooth.
02 -
Cut your brioche loaf into cubes around 2 cm on each side. Using slightly stale brioche works best since it holds its shape and soaks up liquid better.
03 -
Dunk the brioche cubes into the egg-milk-vanilla mixture. Let them soak for 1-2 minutes on each side, ensuring they’re fully coated.
04 -
Heat some butter on medium in a non-stick pan. Cook the brioche cubes until golden and crisp on all sides, about 2-3 minutes.
05 -
Stir together the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish. Once the cubes are done, roll them in the mixture while still warm to coat them.
# Notes:
01 -
Slightly stale brioche works better because it absorbs more without falling apart.
02 -
Don’t over-soak the cubes, or they might break apart.
03 -
Serve while still warm—it's even more delicious that way!
