Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 big brioche stale
  • 500 ml milk
  • 1 table spoons vanilla sugar
  • 40 g icing sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tbsp. cinnamon level
  • 500 g strawberries

Method
 

  1. Cut the brioche into 1 cm thick slices and arrange them in a baking dish.
  2. Wash the strawberries and cut off the green and white parts. Slice half of them and place them between the brioche slices.
    Quarter the remaining strawberries.
  3. Whisk all the other ingredients together vigorously and pour evenly over the brioche slices.
  4. Cover with cling film and leave to stand in a cool place for at least four hours. The brioche slices will soak up the topping.
    You can also prepare the casserole the day before and leave it in the refrigerator overnight or until the next afternoon.
  5. Preheat the oven to 180°C top/bottom heat.
  6. Bake on the middle shelf for 30 minutes. If the casserole becomes too dark, cover with a piece of aluminium foil after 15 minutes, then finish baking.
  7. Serve sprinkled with the remaining strawberries and icing sugar.

Notes

The strawberries can of course be replaced with other fruits. In addition to raspberries and blueberries, thin apple slices, bananas or even mango are also excellent choices.
If you prefer a sweeter taste, either increase the sugar content in the glaze or spread strawberry jam on the brioche slices before placing them in the tin.
