Cuisine: Australian
Ingredients: 6 slices brioche or thick white bread; 30–40 g butter, for frying; 2 eggs; 125 ml milk; ½ tsp ground cinnamon; 1 tsp vanilla extract; 250 g strawberries, sliced (optional); 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for strawberries)

Serves 2–3 Prep 2 min Cook 10 min Total 12 min

Ingredients

6 slices brioche or thick white bread
30–40 g butter, for frying
2 eggs
125 ml milk
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
250 g strawberries, sliced (optional)
1 tbsp sugar (optional, for strawberries)

Method

Whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla in a shallow dish.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium. Melt a knob of butter.
Dunk each slice quickly — do not soak. Fry 2½–3 minutes a side until golden.
Optional: toss strawberries with sugar while the toast cooks.
Serve with maple syrup, extra butter, or the strawberries.

Tip: No sugar in the batter — it burns. Slightly stale bread holds up better. A quick dunk, not a soak, keeps the middle custardy not soggy.
