Method

Grease a 19 x 25cm oval baking dish with butter. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, Elmlea, cinnamon, vanilla and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Spread jam on 1 side of each brioche slice, then press 2 jam sides together to make 8 sandwiches. Dip a sandwich in the egg mixture on both sides, then put in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches and arrange in the baking dish, layering in rows so the slices slightly overlap. Pour over any remaining egg mixture, then cover and chill for 2 hrs, or overnight.
Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Scatter the blackberries and sugar over the top. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 mins. Uncover, then bake for 25-30 mins until golden.
Mix the lemon curd into the yogurt with the lemon zest. Serve the French toast with the yogurt on the side, and finish with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dusting of icing sugar, if you like.

Get head: Make the dish the day before, up to the end of step 2, then cover and chill overnight.
