I am absolutely in love with this Cinnamon Brioche French Toast dish from Mimi’s Cafe! It is best described as cinnamon-swirled brioche slices flavored with nutmeg and a hint of orange zest griddled to a golden brown. It is served with fresh-cut fruit, and you can add bacon and eggs to your meal. Holy heavens!

How to make brioche French toast
Heat a medium-sized pan to medium heat. This will be your griddle.
Now, we will make the French toast batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, half and half, sugar, spices, vanilla, and orange zest. Whisk the mixture until it is well combined and set aside.
Dip each cinnamon roll in French toast batter until moist, but well drained. Be careful not to completely soak the bread or your French toast will be soggy!
Spray the griddle or nonstick pan with non‐stick spray and place the dipped French toast onto the griddle. Brown the cinnamon brioche bread for approximately 2 minutes, then flip and griddle the other side for another 2 minutes.
