Brioche Toast
To Serve
Method
Brioche Toast
Prep the bread
Bring brioche slices to room temperature for 10 minutes if chilled. Pat lightly with paper towel if surface is damp.
Butter both sides
Spread about 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter on each side of the brioche slices (total ~2 tablespoons for 4 slices). The butter on the exterior will help create a golden crust.
Toast the bread
Place the buttered slices in the warm skillet in a single layer. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula and watching for deep golden-brown color. Reduce heat slightly if they are browning too quickly. Total cook time should be 4–6 minutes until edges are crisp and centers are warm.
Finish and season
Transfer toasted brioche to a wire rack or plate. Sprinkle a tiny pinch (about 1/8 tsp) kosher salt across the four slices to enhance flavor while still warm.
To Serve
If using softened butter, spread about 1/2 tablespoon on each warm slice; otherwise proceed directly to jam.
Generously spoon 1 tablespoon of your chosen jam onto each slice (total 4 tablespoons) and spread. Add optional fresh berries or sliced fruit to the top if desired.
Optional finishing: lightly dust with 1 teaspoon powdered sugar for presentation. Serve immediately while warm.
