Thick slices of brioche soak up a rich custard of eggs, whole milk, and a touch of heavy cream, so every piece turns golden and custardy in the middle once it hits the skillet. A hint of vanilla and cinnamon keeps the flavor warm and cozy without leaning on any seasoned pantry shortcuts, and pan-frying in butter gives each slice that deep golden crust and nutty edge. Fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar make a simple finishing touch, while a generous pour of maple syrup ties the whole plate together. Because the flavor here comes from real vanilla, cinnamon, and browned butter rather than any seasoning blends or packaged mixes, it's an easy dish to keep in your added salt–conscious rotation. Serve it hot off the griddle for a weekend breakfast that still feels indulgent.

In a large shallow baking dish, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt until fully combined and no streaks of egg white remain.
Working in batches, lay the brioche slices in the custard and soak for 20–30 seconds per side, pressing gently so the bread absorbs the mixture without becoming waterlogged. The slices should feel heavy and saturated but still hold their shape.
