Ingredients Needed:

• 2 eggs

• 175 ml milk
• 70 ml dark rum
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 125 g sugar
• 4 slices brioche (about 25mm thick)
• 400 ml cider
• 150 g butter
• 1 tsp cider vinegar
• 2 Pink Lady apples, peeled and cut into wedges
• 150 g mascarpone
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 75 ml cream

How To Make Eggy Bread With Apple Recipe?

1. Whisk eggs and milk: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, milk, and dark rum. Add the cinnamon and sugar, mixing everything until well combined.
2. Soak the brioche: Pour the egg mixture into a baking dish. Add the brioche slices and let them soak, turning every 10 minutes for 30 minutes.
3. Reduce the cider: In a pan, reduce the cider by half until it becomes syrupy. Whisk in 100 g of butter a little at a time. Add the cider vinegar and remove from the heat. Stir in the apple wedges for added sweetness.
4. Cook the bread: Melt the remaining butter in a frying pan. Shake off any excess liquid from the soaked bread slices and fry each side for 3-5 minutes, until golden and crispy.
5. Bake the bread: Preheat the oven to 160°C. Transfer the bread to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until crispy.
6. Prepare the cream: Beat the mascarpone, vanilla extract, and cream together until fluffy and fully combined.
7. Serve: Plate the eggy bread, apples, and cider sauce. Top with mascarpone cream and sprinkle toasted chopped hazelnuts for a crunchy finish.

Recipe Tips:

• Use thick, good-quality brioche: The brioche should be thick enough to soak up the egg mixture without falling apart.
• Soak the bread evenly: Make sure each slice of brioche is fully soaked in the egg mixture for the best texture.
• Reduce the cider slowly: Reduce the cider over low heat to create a syrupy consistency that won’t be too strong or too thin.
• Fry on medium heat: Fry the soaked bread on medium heat to get crispy outside without burning.
• Toast hazelnuts for crunch: Adding toasted hazelnuts gives a lovely crunch to the dish and enhances the flavor.
