Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for baking dish
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 (1-inch) thick slices day-old brioche bread
- 5 eggs 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt 1/4 cup orange juice Pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup grapes, halved
- Powdered sugar, for garnish
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- Special equipment: an 8 by 8 by 2-inch baking dish
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Butter baking dish and set aside. In a small bowl, combine butter, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon and salt. Generously butter both sides of brioche bread with butter mixture. Toast on a baking sheet in the oven 5 to 10 minutes, or until bread turns golden brown. Cut toast on a diagonal into triangles and arrange in the prepared baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, yogurt, orange juice, salt, remaining sugar, and vanilla. Stir in grapes and pour over bread slices in baking dish. Let rest 10 minutes for bread to absorb some of the egg mixture, gently pressing down a few times to help absorb. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until crust is golden and crispy in parts and custard is set. Remove from the oven, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup and serve.

This was delicious, and quite easy to make! I made some substitutions based on what I had on hand:
Blueberry yogurt instead of plain (the kind with fruit mixed in, yum!
Craisins instead of Grapes - instead of mixing them into the egg mixture, I sprinkled them evenly over the bread.
Sprinkled a little more cinnamon-sugar over the top before baking, because I wanted to. ;
Fantastic! Next time I'm going to add a little orange zest to bring out the flavor a little more. Great, easy Fancy Saturday breakfast for my family!
