This decadent Cinnamon Brioche Toast makes a truly special start to the day, and it only take minutes to whip up and serve.
Brioche, or cakey bread as it’s affectionately known as in our house, is one of the many French bakery exports that we would be hard pushed to live without. Its texture is light-as-a-feather and it makes the most delicious light toast with butter and homemade raspberry jam.
Now imagine that soft sweet crumb with a crispy, buttery, cinnamon-y topping that is all crusty and caramelised around the edges. Yup, I’m drooling at the thought of it too!
And whilst my cinnamon brioche toast may not exactly be classed as a health food, some mornings are special enough to warrant an extra special (and slightly naughty) breakfast.
For example Jonny has been working on my van in the freezing cold all morning. He’s building shelves and kitchen doors which is a bit above and beyond on a Sunday morning. So as a thank you I made him this big batch of cinnamon brioche toast and a huge pot of black coffee.
I think he’s enjoying the #sharethemoment campaign from Pasquier as much me :)
It’s most common to see brioche in round bobbly loaves, which whilst are very pretty aren’t the most practical in a busy kitchen. So I was delighted to find these loaves of sliced brioche from Pasquier. They are perfect for making this cinnamon brioche toast and ideal to take camping.

- 2 slices of brioche per person
- Salted butter
- Sugar
- Cinnamon
-
Preheat the grill.
-
Grill one one side of the toast, then flip over and spread the softened butter generously onto the ungrilled side.
-
Sprinkle with plenty of sugar and cinnamon then pop back under the grill.
-
Keep a close eye on your toast and pull it out when the sugar is bubbling and the edges of the toast are dark brown - this should only take a couple of minutes depending on how hot your grill is.
-
Dive in and enjoy this crazy special breakfast.

Oh yes, brioche works so much better than regular bread in these types of treats! Looks great; wish I had a slice or two right now!
Jane Sarchet says
I had no idea CC, glad I finally figured it out! :)

There are a couple of slices of Brioche in the breadbin so I’m going to try this for my daughters breakfast tomorrow! She does similar on a tortilla wrap but I bet this is even better.
Jane Sarchet says
Hope she enjoys it Claire :)
