Prepare Bread: Cut the brioche or challah into 1-inch thick slices and arrange them snugly in a greased baking dish.
Make Custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until well combined and slightly frothy.
Soak Bread: Pour the custard mixture over the bread slices, pressing gently to ensure they soak in as much custard as possible. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight.
Preheat Oven: Set the oven to preheat at 350°F (175°C) to ensure a beautifully baked dish.
Bake French Toast: Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. Broil for the last 2-3 minutes for a crispy top if desired.
Brûlées the Top: Sprinkle an even layer of granulated sugar over the top and caramelize using a kitchen torch or under the broiler.
Serve: Allow the French toast to cool slightly before serving. Top with fresh berries, powdered sugar, and maple syrup for extra decadence.
