This decadent brioche bake is so delicious, and the perfect weekend brunch for friends and family! Dust with icing sugar and add a dollop of Greek yoghurt, if you like. Yum!
Editor’s note:
The method below provides for you either make this ready for freezing to cook later or to bake straight away — in a regular oven or in an air fryer.
If you have the right quantity of leftover challah that would work brilliantly for this bake.
Method:
- Put the eggs, double cream, milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl and whisk with a fork.
- Tear the brioche rolls into pieces and add to the mixing bowl along with the raspberries, the chunks of white chocolate and the chopped pecans.
- Mix and leave to sit for 20 minutes.
- To cook in an oven: preheat the oven to 180°C. Pour the mix into a lightly greased ovenproof dish and place in the oven for 30–40 minutes, until golden.
- To cook in an air fryer: preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Pour the mix into a lightly greased air fryer-safe dish and cook for 10 minutes, then remove and cover well with tin foil.
- Return to the air fryer for another 10–12 minutes, until golden.
To prepare and freeze ahead:
- Tear the brioche rolls into pieces and put them into a large, labelled freezer bag along with the raspberries, the chunks of white chocolate and the chopped pecans.
- Put the eggs, double cream, milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract into a mixing jug. Whisk together with a fork, then pour into the freezer bag. Give everything a good mix and freeze flat.
When you are ready to make it:
- If baking in the oven: Remove from the freezer and leave to fully defrost. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pour everything into a lightly greased, medium-sized ovenproof dish and place in the oven for 30–40 minutes, until golden.
- If baking in the air fryer: Remove from the freezer and leave to fully defrost. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Pour the mix into a lightly greased air fryer-safe dish and cook for 10 minutes, then remove and cover well with tin foil. Return to the air fryer for another 10–12 minutes, until golden.
