The mister and I went for French lunch today, at the local Le Matin French bakery. Got some brioche to try for breakfast on Saturday morning. I kept hearing the name on Food Network. The loaf looks delicious, both on TV and in reality. I could not but help purchase it. It is smelling great!
Per Wikipedia:
Brioche is a highly enriched French pastry, whose high egg and butter content give it a rich and tender crumb. It is “light and slightly puffy, more or less fine, according to the proportion of butter and eggs”It has a dark, golden, and flaky crust, frequently accentuated by an egg wash applied after proofing.
I thought this information was interesting:

Cannot wait to try it!
