Method
 

Prep and Mise en Place
  1. Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 400°F if you plan to bake the bacon or keep finished items warm.
  2. Lay bread slices on a sheet tray so they’re ready for soaking. Crack 4 eggs into a bowl for the French toast custard and whisk with milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Alternatively, blitz everything in a blender for a silky custard.
Start the Bacon
  1. Oven-baked bacon: Arrange bacon on a wire rack over a rimmed baking tray and bake at 400°F for 15–20 minutes depending on thickness.
  2. Pan-fried bacon: Use a cold skillet, lay strips in a single layer, and cook over medium heat, turning often, until crisp.
Cook the Sausages
  1. Pan-searing: Place sausages in a skillet over medium heat with a tiny splash of oil. Brown on all sides, then reduce heat, cover, and cook until internal temp reaches 160°F.
  2. Oven-roasting: Arrange sausages on a sheet tray and roast at 375°F for 20–25 minutes, turning once.
Soak and Cook the French Toast
  1. Dip the brioche slices in the custard, letting each side soak for 20–30 seconds.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon butter. Cook each slice for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Make the Fluffy Scrambled Eggs
  1. Beat 4 eggs with 1/4 cup milk or cream and a pinch of salt. Cook over low-medium heat and stir gently with a spatula.
Assemble and Serve
  1. Keep cooked items warm in a 200°F oven while you finish the French toast and eggs.
  2. Arrange French toast, a generous scoop of scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages, fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup. Garnish eggs with chives.

Notes

Day-old bread soaks better and won’t fall apart. Baking bacon ensures it cooks evenly and stays crisp. Using a blender for the custard results in a smooth mixture.
