Cooking Steps
• Thinly slice pear. • Place half the cream in a large bowl and whisk with electric beaters until soft peaks form and almost doubled in size, 1-2 minutes. Set aside. TIP: If you don't have electric beaters, use a metal whisk and whisk for 3-4 minutes. TIP: Chill both your bowl and cream before whipping to get maximum volume.
• In a shallow bowl, add the egg and the remaining cream and lightly whisk to combine. • Add brioche slices to the egg mixture, turning gently to coat. Set aside to soak for 10 minutes.
• While the brioche is soaking, roughly chop roasted almonds. Zest lemon to get a pinch, then cut into wedges. • In a second shallow bowl, combine lemon zest and the sugar.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with the butter and a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook pear, stirring, until softened, 3-5 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add the brown sugar and mix well. Cook until reduced and sticky, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Wipe out frying pan, then return to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, gently remove brioche from egg mixture and cook in batches, until lightly browned and set, 2-4 minutes each side. • Transfer cooked brioche to the bowl of lemon sugar and turn to lightly coat. TIP: Cook the brioche in butter for extra flavour!
• Divide brioche French toast between plates. • Top with caramelised pear, whipped cream and cherry sauce. Sprinkle with roasted almonds. • Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
