Serves 6

1 loaf unsliced brioche

1 1/3 cups milk

2/3 cup cream

4 eggs

1/3 cup caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla paste

2/3 cup caster sugar extra

berries to serve


Pre-heat your oven to 180C. Cut the brioche into 2cm slices. Whisk together the milk, cream, eggs, sugar and vanilla paste. Pour into a flat dish and place the brioche into the custard mixture, leaving for 5 minutes to soak. Arrange the soaked slices of brioche on to a lined baking tray. Place in the oven for 25 minutes or until golden. With the remaining sugar, heat in a small pot and allow to caramelise. Once golden, drizzle over the cooked brioche slices and serve with berries.
