Method
- Heat the milk, fennel and ginger in a pan and bring almost to the boil. Remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 3 hours.
- Butter the brioche slices and lay in 4 lightly buttered 250ml ovenproof dishes. Whisk the beaten egg and yolks with the sugar in a bowl. Warm the milk to almost boiling again, then strain over the eggs, whisking (discard the fennel and ginger).
- Pour half the custard over the brioche and leave for 30 minutes to allow the custard to be absorbed.
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/fan140°C/gas 3. Pour over the remaining custard and sprinkle with a little more granulated sugar. Bake for 25 minutes, then rest for 5 minutes before serving.
