- Serves:

4
ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- salt, a pinch
- 1⁄4 cup ground cinnamon (not a mistake)
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 4 slices brioche bread (thick slices)
- 8 tablespoons butter (not a mistake)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
directions
- In a wide shallow bowl, combine the eggs, milk, cream, and salt.
- Combine the cinnamon and sugar on a plate.
- Soak a piece or two of bread in the egg mixture (do not crowd) while you put the butter and oil in a large skillet over med-high heat.
- Turn the bread in the egg mixture so it soaks well; when the butter melts and its foam subsides, add the soaked bread, again without crowding (will probably have to cook bread in batches).
- Brown the bread nicely on both sides, for a total of 6-10 minutes, then transfer each piece in turn to the cinnamon sugar mixture; turn to coat both sides evenly and serve hot.
