1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup blueberries

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon corn syrup

12 brioche bread slices

2 cups assorted fresh berries and cherries (strawberries, sweet cherries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

NOTE-

Use any combination of berries and cherries that are in season (strawberries should be hulled and halved; cherries should be pitted and halved before using).

Filling-

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.

Egg Mixture-

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half and half, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon and salt.

Topping-

In a small saucepan, heat all topping ingredients together over medium heat until butter is melted and everything is well-incorporated.

Assemble-

Add 6 slices of brioche bread to cover the bottom of the baking dish, then evenly spread the filling over the bread slices. Add 1 cup of the fruit, then add the remaining 6 slices of bread. Pour the egg mixture over the entire dish. Make sure the egg mixture gets evenly distributed, gently press down on all the bread slices with a spatula or clean hands.

Evenly pour topping over the egg-soaked bread and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until done. Let set up for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.

Garnish with remaining fresh fruit, berries, maple syrup and mint leaves.
