Have you heard of anything more extravagant? Bron mentioned a few weeks ago she’d read a blog of someone whose bucket list involved eating Crème brûlée French toast from a well known place in New York. It was on her bucket list. Bron found a recipe from http://www.smittenkitchen.com for crème brûlée french toasts. This morning I visited to enjoy a Saturday breakfast. For the first time in a very long time I felt full after breakfast.
Bron chose to use brioche which I think was a fantastic choice.
Brioche soaked in custard
Brioche soaked in custard with orange zest
The orange zest was a great touch. Citrus is amazing.
Bananas and berries and mint
Cherry and orange sauce, it tasted awesome.
Brioche soaked in custard after emerging crispy from the oven
I just love that this was bread soaked in custard, yet it remained absorbent enough for the cherry and orange sauce and maple syrup.

Looks delicious! Thanks for linking to my post
My pleasure.
Yummy! A new use for brioche! And baked not fried? Definitely have to try this!
It’s just like cake absorbing sugar water
Citrus adds a je ne sais quoi to bread. Of course, brioche is cake or am I wrang?
Very true, and yes, I thought the brioche was basically cake. Not too sweet though which is good given how much sugar was in the cherry and orange sauce plus the maple syrup.
wow, looks so yummy!! i am drooling now!! thanks for sharing.
It was pretty amazing
