Instructions
-
Begin by whisking the cream in a mixing bowl until it starts to form soft peaks, then gently stir in the kirsch (if using), icing sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cherry jam. Set this delightful mixture aside for serving later.
-
In a shallow dish, lightly beat together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Next, prepare your brioche by spreading the remaining cherry jam between slices to create four jam sandwiches. Ensure to press each sandwich firmly so they adhere together nicely.
-
Carefully dip each jam sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing the bread to soak up some of the liquid without becoming too soggy.
-
In a large frying pan, melt a knob of unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Fry the sandwiches for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they are beautifully golden brown.
-
Once cooked, slice the sandwiches in half or into fingers for easier serving. Present your Cherry Pain Perdu with a generous dollop of the prepared kirsch cream and a few fresh cherries on top.
Enjoy this decadent dessert that not only pleases the palate but also adds a touch of elegance to any meal!
