Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, double cream, milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Dip each brioche slice into the egg mixture, turning until thoroughly soaked. Arrange the slices in a roughly 25 x 40cm baking dish or roasting tin in a single layer, overlapping them slightly.

Pour any remaining egg mixture over the arranged brioche. Tuck a few blueberries and raspberries under the edges of the slices, then scatter the remaining berries over the top.

Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the bread.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas 4). Uncover the dish and bake for 30–35 minutes until the custard has just set and the top is golden brown.
