Sunday bakes - 'Berry messy' brioche breakfast bake

After a fun-filled weekend at the Edinburgh fringe with my brother (he was in Adam Long's Dickens Abridged, a really good show), I opted for a bank holiday baked breakfast treat. No, I don't have a hangover, anymore. In addition to Dickens Abridged I would highly recommend Spillikin. It was a beautiful show featuring a robot actor that managed to be touching, sweet and funny as well as leaving you questioning morality and scientific developments for the future. A really interesting watch. 








I picked up a bag of chocolate brioche on my way back through the airport and this morning I made an american inspired breakfast. 

Ingredients
3 chocolate brioche rolls
1 frozen sliced banana
2 handfuls of frozen blueberries
5 tbsp egg whites
1 tbsp caster sugar
3 tbsp maple syrup

Method
Lay the fruit in the bottom of the dish and place the sliced brioche over the top. Mix up the egg, sugar and maple syrup and pour over the brioche. Tilt the dish to help the brioche absorb the mixture then bake at 180 for 8 minutes

Now you should have a crispy french-toast inspired breakfast treat, to be enjoyed with fresh coffee, the newspaper and the traditional bank holiday rain.
