A delightful twist on the classic French toast, featuring a luscious berry medley and a hint of warm spices.
Combine the fresh berries, granulated sugar, and water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Ensure the spices are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Heat a griddle over medium heat and melt a portion of the butter to coat the surface.
Use a non-stick griddle for easier cooking.
Dip each slice of brioche into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not overly soaked.
Allow excess mixture to drip off before placing on the griddle.
Place the soaked brioche slices on the griddle and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the griddle.
Serve the French toast warm, topped with the berry medley and a dollop of creme fraiche.
Garnish with a sprig of mint for a fresh touch.
