  3. Spread meringue over the top of the bread pudding. Use the spoon to make peaks and whorls.

  4. Place pudding on lowest rack of the oven, beneath the cookie sheet. The shininess will reflect heat onto the top of the meringue, making it brown faster.

  5. Bake the pudding for about 8 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown. Serve warm.

That is a good looking meringue. The raspberry and brioche is just such a good combo. I will be making this.
