There are fewer pleasures greater than sharing a hearty brunch with good company, and topping that list for a decadent brunch favourite to be shared has to be brioche french toast. This recipe comes from Caroline Craig and Sophie Missing’s new cookbook The Little Book of Brunchan enticing collection of dishes best shared with friends. First, whip up a batch of the duo’s sour cherry compote and then smother your brioche French toast with a big ol’ dollop. This recipe serves one hungry human, so multiply if you’re sharing. This is what the authors said about this recipe:

“You can of course use any bread you like here, but a thick wodge of brioche feels especially indulgent. We love to eat this with a generous spoonful of sour cherry compote.”

We think we’ll take their advice on this one.

The Little Book of Brunch by Caroline Craig and Sophie Missing is published by Square Peg in Hardback at £16
