  • 1.

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Combine the zest, juice, rhubarb and sugar in a dish in a single layer. Cover and bake for 15-20 minutes until tender. For toast, beat the eggs, cream and vanilla in a shallow bowl.

    Melt half the butter in a large non-stick frypan over medium heat. Dip half the brioche in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drain off. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden, then keep warm in the oven while you repeat with the remaining brioche.
