Use a thin knife to cut a 2-inch-long slit through the side of each slice of brioche, creating a pocket. Gently open the pocket and spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mascarpone mixture into each slice. In a pie dish or shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Meanwhile, warm the maple syrup in a small saucepan over low heat for a few minutes. Dust the stuffed toast with confectioners' sugar, drizzle with the warm maple syrup, and serve.
