Originally it should be made from stale, left over bread. So the irony of this recipe is, that I went shopping for a lovely brioche loaf and let it dry out. Best served warm.
400 gr brioche loaf (cut the crusts off)
3 egg yolks
300 ml of double cream
100 ml of milk
1 vanilla pod (optional)
orange marmalade (jam)
a handfull of dark chocolate chunks (about 70 gr)
30 gr of light brown sugar
50 gr unsalted butter
Firstly heat up cream and milk together to the scorching point, don't let it boil. Put the vanilla seeds and pod in it, let it cool down.
Preheat the oven 180C/ gaz mark 4.
Butter the pie dish.
Make small butter and marmalade sandwiches, arrange them snugly in the dish , you might need a couple of layers . Sprinkle the dark chocolate chunks (if more then 1 layer, sprinkle between the layers).
Set aside.
Beat the egg yolks with 20 gr of sugar till light and fluffy, strain cream and milk(make sure it's cooled down) and add slowly to the eggs . Whisk for about 5 min. Pour the custard over the bread, sprinkle the rest of the sugar on top.
Bake for 30-40 min, untill the top has caramelised and the custard is set.
Enjoy!
