Yield Serves 6-7

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups half and half (500 mililiters)
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 ounce butter (15 grams) butter
Zest of 1 orange
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
4 eggs
5 1/2 ounces caster (superfine) sugar (150 grams)
1 brioche loaf
2 tablespoons homemade chocolate hazelnut spread
1 cup blueberries (9 1/2 ounces/270 grams)
1 1/2 fluid ounces coconut oil (50 milliliters)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (175°C).
  • Put the cream, honey, butter, orange zest and vanilla bean in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring, and remove from the heat.
  • Put the eggs and sugar in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Pour the hot cream mixture over the egg mixture and whisk to combine.
  • Using a bread knife, cut the crust off the brioche loaf to create a square log. Slice the loaf in half lengthways. Spread both halves with chocolate hazelnut spread, like you're making a big sandwich, then add the blueberries to the middle and close the sandwich.
  • Soak the brioche loaf in the warm egg custard for 10 minutes, or until it's well soaked.
  • Put coconut oil in a medium pan over medium heat and cook the brioche loaf until it's golden brown all over, then finish in the oven for 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel and slice into fingers.

The French toast fingers were a little soggy. I think I'll cook them for a little longer next time.

This recipe was a little too sweet for my taste. I'll probably use less chocolate-hazelnut spread next time.

I didn't have any blueberries, so I used raspberries instead. They were a great substitute.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate-hazelnut spread, so I used Nutella instead. It was still delicious!
