Method
- Put the fruit slices in one layer in a shallow baking dish or a foil-lined baking tray. Sprinkle with the Cointreau, if using, and brown sugar, and dot with the butter. Grill until just browned, it could take about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the coconut and grill until toasted– this doesn’t take long.
- To make the eggy bread: Whisk the egg with the milk in a shallow dish. Dip the slices of brioche in it. Melt the butter in a frying pan and cook the bread until it’s browned and crisping on both sides.
- Serve the eggy bread, topped with Greek yogurt, if you like, along with the grilled fruit in a bowl.
