Instructions
In a large bowl or glass measuring pitcher, whisk together, 4 large eggs, ¾ cup milk, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons maple syrup.
Begin to heat the griddle over a medium to medium-high heat.
Transfer the egg mixture to a shallow, wide dish. Briefly dip the brioche slices into the egg mixture to soak them up, but don't let them sit for too long; otherwise, they can become heavy with the custard and fall apart.
Grease with butter or nonstick spray for the griddle and place the brioche slices on the flat-top. Cook the brioche french toast for 2-3 minutes per side or until they are browned and have a golden crust.
Divide the toasts among plates and garnish with your favorite garnishes such as extra butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, or whipped cream
