How to Make Baked Plums On Brioche

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F / Gas Mark 6).
  2. Butter both sides of each slice of brioche.
  3. Arrange the brioche slices on a baking sheet.
  4. Place the plums, skin-side down, on top of each brioche slice.
  5. Dot each plum with a small piece of butter (approximately 1/4 teaspoon per plum).
  6. Sprinkle generously with granulated sugar (about 1 teaspoon per plum).
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the brioche is golden brown and slightly toasted.
  8. Serve warm or hot. For an extra touch of decadence, serve with a dollop of pouring cream or crème fraîche.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
