Ingredients
- 250 ml (1 cup) milk
- 50 g caster sugar
- ½ vanilla bean, split lengthways
- 1 egg
- 12 cm piece brioche loaf
- 50 g butter
- icing sugar, for dusting

Instructions
Place the milk, 30 g of the caster sugar and the vanilla bean in a small pan. Bring to a simmer, then transfer to a wide dish to cool.
Beat the egg with the remaining 20 g sugar.
Cut the brioche into 6 thick slices. Briefly dip each slice in the cooled milk mixture, then lightly coat with the egg mixture.
Heat the butter in a large frying pan and cook the brioche on each side until golden brown.
Dust the brioche generously with icing sugar and dust with a little cinnamon. Serve immediately on its own or with red fruits.
