Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar to whiten them.

Then add the cream, followed by the infused milk.

Cut the brioche into 1.5 or 2cm thick slices. Dip the slices in the mixture to soak them well, then drain.

Heat a little butter and sugar in a pan, then when the mixture is caramelized, toast/caramelize the brioche slices on each side. Place the slices on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, and bake in the preheated oven at 180°C for 3 minutes. Enjoy hot, and above all, enjoy yourself!
