Ingredients
- 8 slices of brioche cut into ½ inch slices, stale
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup mascarpone
- 2 to 4 tbsp butter
- ½ cup raspberries plus more for garnish
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- ¼ tsp vanilla
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Put 1/2 cup of raspberries, 1/2 cup of water, and ½ cup of sugar in a small saucepan on medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Remove from the heat after raspberries lose their form and release their juices.
- Strain through a fine-mesh strainer and allow the raspberry syrup to cool for several hours or overnight in the fridge.
- Place ½ cup of mascarpone cheese and 1 cup of heavy cream in a bowl and whip until they combine and the mixture begins to hold its form, 1-2 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Place 3 eggs, 1 cup whole milk, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Place custard mixture in a shallow baking dish and soak the slices of bread for 4-5 minutes per side.
- While the bread is soaking, melt 1-2 tablespoons of butter in a non-stick skillet on medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, fry the slices of bread until golden brown, around 4-5 minutes per side.
- Plate the toasts and top with a generous spread of whipped mascarpone, fresh raspberries, and raspberry syrup.
- Serve immediately.
