Directions

1. Heat the milk with vanilla or cinnamon over low heat for 10 minutes. ⏱ 10 min

3. Whisk the eggs with the sugar, then mix them with the filtered milk. ≈ 4 min
4. Grease the pan and sprinkle it with sugar. ≈ 3 min
5. Place the cut brioche pieces at the bottom of the baking dish. ≈ 3 min
6. Pour les préparer, mix the eggs and milk together, and let them soak for a while. ≈ 3 min
7. Bake in a water bath in an oven at 170 °C for 45 minutes. To check if it’s cooked, insert a knife into the center; it should come out clean. ⏱ 45 min
