   Eat slices of brioche with your breakfast in the morning. Use a sharp bread knife to cut a loaf of brioche into even slices that are about ¹⁄₂–1 inch (1.3–2.5cm) thick. Place the slices of brioche on a plate and serve them with the rest of your breakfast.^[1]

   • If you’re eating breakfast alone, only cut as many slices of brioche as you think you will eat. That way you can easily save the rest of the loaf for later.

   Spread butter or jam over your slices of brioche. Place butter and an open container of jam on the table with your breakfast spread, along with two butter knives for serving. Grab a slice of brioche and use the butter knives to spread butter and jam over one side of the brioche.^[2]

   • You can eat your brioche with any kind of jam, like raspberry, grape, and blueberry jam.

   Toast your slices of brioche to make them crispy and more flavorful. If you don't have a toaster, toast the slices over a stovetop. Just add ¹⁄₂ teaspoon (2.5mL) of butter to a large pan and toast the brioche over medium heat until it's golden and crispy.^[3]

   Make brioche french toast with your leftover brioche. Just combine 3 eggs, ¹⁄₄ cup (59mL) of heavy cream, 1.5 tablespoons (22mL) of sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon and ginger in a large bowl. Dip slices of brioche in the mixture and then cook the slices in a large pan over medium heat for 4 minutes, or until they are golden.^[4]

   • When your brioche french toast is finished, serve it with toppings like butter, jam, fresh fruit, and syrup.

   Try brioche buns with your breakfast if you get tired of slices. Eat the brioche buns plain, or cut them in half with a knife and spread butter and jam over the inside. You can also toast the cut sides of the brioche buns before you eat them.

   1

   Store your leftover brioche at room temperature for 3-4 days. To store the brioche, place it in a sealable plastic bag and press out the excess air with your hands. Seal the bag and write the date on it so you can keep track of how old it is. Place the sealed bag in a cool, dry place.^[9]

2. 2

   Store your brioche in the freezer if you want it to last longer. Thoroughly wrap your brioche in plastic wrap so it’s completely covered. Then, place the wrapped brioche in a sealable freezer bag. Press out the excess air with your hands and seal the bag. Label the bag with the date so you know how long your brioche has been in the freezer. Your brioche should last for up to 2 months in the freezer.^[10]

   • When you’re ready to have your brioche, remove it from the freezer and let it thaw for at least 4 hours.
3. 3

   Avoid storing your brioche in the refrigerator. Storing brioche in the fridge will cause it to go stale faster than if you were to store it at room temperature or in the freezer. If you’re going to eat your brioche within 3-4 days, store it at room temperature. If you want to store your brioche for longer, keep it in the freezer.^[11]
