Ingredients
- 4 slices brioche bread, cut into cubes
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 tbsp half and half
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
- 12 oz sliced brie cheese *brie with the thin, edible rind recommended
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds
- 10 oz apricot jam or preserves *I use the Trader Joe's low sugar apricot preserves
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a round pie plate or shallow baking dish with olive oil spray
- Place chopped brioche (should be in about 1" cubes) in the bottom of the dish
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt and pepper
- Pour egg mixture evenly over the cubed brioche
- Place sliced brie on top of the brioche
- Spread apricot jam/preserves on top of sliced brie
- Add almonds on top of the jam then sprinkle with the brown sugar
- Loosely cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. I like to uncover and broil for less than a minute until the cheese is nice and bubbly. If you use the broil setting, watch constantly so it doesn't overcook.
- Serve immediately with crackers and fresh fruit
