Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Place the brioche slices on a baking tray and toast them in the oven for 5-10 minutes until slightly golden. Cool slightly and cut each slice into 2 triangles.
Use a bit of butter to grease a deep baking dish (the one I used is 24cm x 15cm). Arrange the triangles of bread into the dish, overlapping and squishing them together to fill up the dish. Scatter the raspberries on top, & push a few in between the slices of bread.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, salt & honey together well. Pour this mixture over the bread. Let stand for 10 minutes to absorb some of the liquid, then bake in the oven for 45-50minutes, or until deep golden and puffed up and the centre is still slightly jiggly. Serve warm.

Notes
• You may use croissant instead of the brioche for an even richer version. You could even use hot cross buns, and omit the raspberries for a more Easter-y version.
