09 -
Red fruit sauce
10 -
Chocolate sauce
11 -
Maple syrup
12 -
Salted caramel sauce
13 -
Chocolate ganache
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt together until smooth.
02 -
Cut your brioche into cubes about 2cm on each side. A slightly stale brioche works better as it absorbs the mixture well while holding its shape.
03 -
Soak the brioche cubes in the egg-milk-vanilla mixture for 1-2 minutes per side, making sure they’re nicely coated.
04 -
Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the cubes on all sides for 2-3 minutes each, until they turn golden and crispy.
05 -
Blend the sugar and cinnamon on a plate. Roll the hot cubes in this mixture so they get a lovely coating.
# Notes:
01 -
To cook this well, use brioche that’s a little stale; it holds up better during preparation.
02 -
Don’t soak the cubes too long, or they might fall apart.
03 -
These taste best warm, so serve them right away.
