ingredients
Brioche n' Bruschetta
Brioche French Toast
directions
Cook sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice in a skillet over high heat for thirty seconds to one minute, or until the sugar melts and mixture starts to bubble.
Add strawberries and cook until heated through, about 1 to two minutes.
Set aside.
Trim the end crusts from the brioche bread, and the loaf into eight equal pieces.
Whisk the eggs, vanilla and heavy cream together in a large bowl, and place the bread pieces into the mixture. Let stand for five minutes so bread can absorb the custard, turn occasionally.
Melt butter in a skillet, add the bread.
Cook for three minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Whip the whipping cream with sugar to soft peaks.
Ladle cooked strawberries and their juice over the French toast, and top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and sifted icing sugar.
