ingredients

1 (142 ml) container double cream
1 tablespoon kirsch (optional)
1 tablespoon icing sugar
5 tablespoons cherry jam
3 eggs
1 tablespoon sugar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon vanilla extract
8 slices brioche bread
unsalted butter (for frying)
cherries, to serve (optional)

directions

Whisk the cream just until it starts to form soft peaks, then stir in the kirsch (if using), icing sugar and 1 TBs jam.
Set aside.
Lightly beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a shallow dish.
Make 4 jam sandwiches with the brioche and remaining jam, pressing each one firmly so that they stick together.
Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture, letting the mixture soak in a little.
Melt a knob of the butter in a large frying pan and fry the sandwiches on a low medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
Slice in half or in fingers and serve with a good dollop of the kirsch cream and a cherry.
