In a thick bottomed pan, melt half the butter. Keep the flame low.
Keep the slice of bread on top and pour half the milk around it.
With a ladle, keep pushing the milk on to the bread, so that the milk gets soaked into the bread and starts forming a crust around it.
Repeat this process till the milk is all soaked.
Now flip the bread and melt the remaining butter onto the side.
Add the remaining milk and repeat the earlier process - ie. keep pushing the milk towards the bread to soak it up and get cooked.
Flip and cook the four sides of the bread, just till it is a little crusty.
Switch off the flame and transfer to a plate. Top with honey or maple syrup and berries and enjoy warm.
Notes
Brioche bread is thick and hence one slice is enough per person. However, if using normal bread, slather little butter between two slices and use instead for this recipe.
