About the recipe
This lovely little brunch is ideal for summer hosting. I'm crisping up brioche on the barbie and topping it with seasonal stone fruits, maple syrup and a kiss of orange zest. Dig in!
Recipe From
Ingredients
3 ripe peaches
8 ripe mixed-colour plums
3 large free-range eggs
100ml milk
1 pinch of cinnamon
1 orange
6 thick slices of brioche (300g total weight), each about 2.5cm thick
olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 knobs of unsalted butter
Greek yoghurt, to serve
fresh mint leaves, to serve
BARBECUE KIT
Weber barbecue tongs
Weber barbecue spatula
Weber basting dome
Method
- Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over medium-high heat. The temperature gauge should register about 240°C.
- Halve and destone the peaches, cut each half into 3 and place in a bowl. Halve, destone and quarter the plums and add to the bowl.
- Crack the eggs into a deep roasting pan, add the milk and a pinch of cinnamon. Finely grate in the zest of the orange, reserving some for garnish, and whisk together. Soak the brioche slices in the egg mixture, turning halfway to fully coat.
- Drizzle the peaches and plums with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and tip onto the barbecue. If they’re not very ripe, cover them with a basting dome to help soften them. Cook for about 4 minutes, or until lightly charred, turning to cook on all sides. Remove to a bowl, squeeze over the juice of the orange and drizzle over 1 tablespoon of maple syrup.
- Meanwhile, place a couple of knobs of butter on the barbecue and add the brioche slices. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until crispy and caramelised, flipping halfway. Drizzle over the remaining 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, making final turns to caramelise, then remove to a plate.
- To serve, divide the French toast between 6 plates and top with the fruit, spooning over some of their juice, and the remaining orange zest. Delicious with a dollop of yoghurt, an extra pinch of cinnamon and some fresh mint leaves.
