Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cinnamon powder
  • 4 slices thick-cut brioche
  • 4 cage free eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup dark rum
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cup corn flake crumbs
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup, such as catskill maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners sugar
  • mixed berries, for serving
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Whisk the sugar and cinnamon powder together until incorporated.
  3. Cut the brioche in half on the angle, forming wedges.
  4. In a stainless steel bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, rum, salt, and vanilla extract until incorporated.
  5. In a shallow pan, add the corn flake crumbs; dip the brioche into the egg mixture for 15 seconds on each side and place into the corn flake crumbs, flipping over to coat each side; in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat, add the butter and once it’s melted and the foaming subsides, add the brioche pieces and cook for 3 minutes on each side, forming a nice brown crust, and place into the oven for 5 minutes to cook the custard through.
  6. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and sifted powdered sugar; serve with berries and maple syrup.
