Berry Sauce:

1. Using a hand blender, combine all berries and sugar and puree until smooth. Push berries through a fine sieve, discarding seeds and reserving the sauce.

2. Place sauce in a small saucepan over moderate heat and allow sauce to warm; keep warm until ready to serve over French toast.

French Toast:

1. Using a fork, beat the eggs in a 13×9-inch baking dish to blend. Place the slices of brioche in the egg mixture. Let stand for 5 minutes or until the eggs are absorbed, turning the brioche slices once.

2. Melt butter on Breville Indoor BBQ & Grill over medium heat. Place the brioche slices on the grill and cook for about 2 minutes per side or until golden brown on the outside and heated through.

3. Meanwhile, stir the sugar and cinnamon on a large plate or pie dish. Transfer the French toast to a cutting board and cut the French toast diagonally in half.

4. Immediately place the hot French toast in the cinnamon-sugar and turn to coat completely. Divide the French toast among 4 serving plates and generously drizzle with the berry sauce. Spoon a dollop of crème fraîche atop each and serve immediately.
