◷ 25 minYield: 4 servingsEasy

Ingredients

  • 8 slices brioche
  • 160 g arequipe
  • 120 g cream cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 180 ml milk
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 20 g butter
  • Fresh fruit to serve

Method

  1. Spread four bread slices with cream cheese and arequipe and top with the remaining slices.
  2. Whisk eggs, milk and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
  3. Dip each sandwich briefly in the egg mixture.
  4. Cook in butter over medium heat 3–4 minutes per side until golden. Serve with fruit.
Arequipe noteDo not soak the bread too long; you want a custardy center, not a collapsing sandwich.
