Prepare the Caramel Base

Melt butter in a saucepan, add brown sugar, and stir until smooth and glossy for a sweet caramel layer.

Pour Caramel Into Baking Dish

Spread the warm caramel evenly in the baking dish, coating the bottom completely for a rich flavor base.

Slice the Brioche Bread

Cut thick slices of brioche bread, making sure each slice is firm and perfect for soaking the custard mixture.

Mix the Custard

Whisk eggs, heavy cream, milk, sugar, salt, and vanilla until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.

Arrange Bread in Dish

Place the brioche slices on top of the caramel base, slightly overlapping them for better soaking and texture.

Pour Custard Over Bread

Slowly pour the custard mixture over the bread slices, letting them soak deeply and absorb the sweet flavor.

Rest the Mixture

Allow the bread to rest for at least 10 minutes to ensure each slice absorbs enough custard mixture evenly.

Bake Until Golden

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30 minutes until the top becomes golden, puffed, and lightly crisp.

Caramelize the Top

Sprinkle sugar on top and use a broiler or kitchen torch to create a crispy caramel crust like classic crème brûlée.

Serve Warm

Serve warm with fruits, syrup, or cream for a sweet, rich, and comforting breakfast everyone will enjoy.
