Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large, shallow bowl, combine 4 beaten eggs, 1 cup of whole milk, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and frothy.
  2. Take slices of brioche bread and gently place them in the custard mixture, allowing each slice to soak for about 30 seconds on each side.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt and become foamy.
  4. Place the soaked brioche slices into the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the Honey French Toast slices to serving plates, dust with powdered sugar, and drizzle with honey. Garnish with fresh raspberries.
