Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - ⌛ 5 min.
Cut slices of brioche about 1cm (0.4 inch) thick, 2 rounds per person (a cutter is the ideal tool for this).
Ideally the circles should be about 6 cm (2.3 inches) in diameter.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 5 min.
Take half the cicles and cut out the centres to leave a ring of brioche 1cm (0.4 inch) wide (see the photo).
So for each person, you should have 1 circle + 1 ring (of the same diameter, as they will be placed one on top of the other).

Stage 6
It is best to do this in a large pan, if you can (not like in the photos), so that all the circles can be cooked evenly at the same time.
Stage 7
Place each fried circle on a serving plate.
Stage 8 - ⌛ 7 min.
Caramelize the rings in the same way.
If the sugar on the bottom of the pan is a bit burnt and black, do clean the pan first, then melt some more butter.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 3 min.
Place each ring on top of a circle. If you do this while they are still very hot, they should stick to each other, which is good.
Stage 10 - ⌛ 5 min.
Fill the centre with the compote and kiwi mixture and pour the custard around.
It is now ready to serve.
