Steps:

• If your brioche rolls are stale, then move to step 2. If they are fresh, gently toast them in the oven for 2-3 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 150 degrees Celsius(300 degrees Fahrenheit) for a fan-forced oven. Preheat 170 degrees celsius for conventional oven.
• Whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla and cream until the sugar has dissolved.
• Cut the brioche rolls in half, laying them flat onto a 10x10 inch baking pan/brownie tin. Pour over cream-egg mixture.
• Cover, then soak for an hour in the fridge, or overnight if you wish.
• Cover with foil, then place in a water bath. The water should reach about halfway of the tin.
• Bake for approximately 1 hour.
• When it has finished baking, if you intend on not having leftovers and serving the day it is made, you can place it under the grill for 2-3 minutes for a crispy, crunchy top. If you will have leftovers, skip this step.
• Enjoy, and serve with ice cream, syrup, custard, fruit, or whipped cream!
