There are only a handful of ingredients in this exceptional French toast. But Somerset’s take elevates each one to its greatest potential, from the thick slices of day-old housemade brioche that spends more than half an hour soaking up egg custard to the seasonal fruit that adorns it. The end result is a brunch delight: a caramelized exterior that gives way to custardy innards, intensely rich without being overly sweet.
