Thick slices of brioche get soaked in a rich, cinnamon-spiced custard until fully saturated, then baked on a sheet pan until the tops turn deep golden brown and the centers set into that perfect springy texture. Baking everything in one layer means every slice gets crisp, caramelized edges without any hovering over a skillet — just soak, bake, and flip once. A touch of vanilla and nutmeg rounds out the flavor, so each bite tastes warm and bakery-fresh. Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar and a generous drizzle of maple syrup for the classic brunch presentation. It's an easy, hands-off way to feed a crowd, and it's a solid pick for a lactose free breakfast spread.
