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 Brunch, an 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.

Brioche French toast
Crack the egg into a wide flattish bowl and whisk. Add the milk, lemon zest and sugar and whisk thoroughly to combine.
Put a frying pan over a medium heat and add the butter. While it melts, dip the bread into the eggy mix. When the bread is well soaked and the butter in the pan is hot, add the bread, pouring over any excess egg mixture. Fry for a couple of minutes on each side until golden and crisp.
Serve immediately, with a dusting of icing sugar and compote or some fresh fruit.
