Cinnamon Brioche Toast

This decadent Cinnamon Brioche Toast makes a truly special start to the day, and it only take minutes to whip up and serve.

Cinnamon Brioche Toast

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!Cinnamon Brioche Toast

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.

Ingredients

  6. 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!

  8. We’re big fans of cinnamon French toast in our house, but I’ve never thought of making it in the grill! We always fry ours, lol! I’m craving French toast now….!
