Yield Makes 8 three-inch rounds

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound day-old brioche loaf
Unsalted butter, for pan
2 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped
1/4 cup hazelnut liqueur, such as Frangelico
4 large whole eggs
4 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Trim side and bottom crusts from brioche, leaving top crust intact. Slice brioche 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan; lay bread pieces in pan so that they overlap slightly, with top crusts visible.
  • Make custard: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk milk, cream, sugar, vanilla scrapings, and liqueur. Cook until hot but not simmering.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and yolks. Whisking constantly, pour 1 cup of the hot milk mixture into eggs; slowly add remaining milk mixture.
  • Pour custard over bread, making sure to soak completely. Bake until firm to the touch, about 1 hour; if needed, press bread with a spatula to keep it moist.
  • Remove from oven. Let cool slightly before cutting into rounds with a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Serve warm.
