Instructions

Whisk eggs, milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
Gently stir in the chocolate chips.
Dip each slice of brioche into the custard, allowing it to soak briefly on both sides.
Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook each slice for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve warm with maple syrup or powdered sugar.

Notes

Use slightly stale brioche for best results. Mini chocolate chips distribute more evenly. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat gently in a pan or oven.
