strawberry bread pudding

berries are in season and i was looking for something easy to bake this weekend since i didn't feel so well... - strawberry bread pudding it is. i made up the recipe, i used brioche instead of bread...



4 rolls of brioche (dinner roll size)
1 pack of strawberry (1lb or 450gr)
30 sugar (or more if prefer sweeter)
60 gr butter at room temp.
2 eggs
225gr of heavy cream
30 gr turbinado sugar - optional
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

preheat oven at 350F

slice brioche about 1/2" thick. spread 3/4 of the butter on brioche slices, sprinkle with turbinado sugar. toast in oven until golden, about 10-15 mins.


clean strawberries and cut in half.


whisk eggs, sugar, cream and vanilla to mix well.


butter ramekin (6" diameter x 3" high) with the remaining butter, sprinkle ramekin with about 1/2 tablespoon of sugar. line bottom of ramekin with 1 layer of toast.


next layer, alternating slices of toast and strawberries...


and continues onto the next layer, fill small spaces with bits of toast and smaller strawberry pieces. pour in the egg/cream mixture, let it sit for at least 1 hr for the toast to soak up the cream.


bake for about 35- 40 minutes.
