Method
Creator suggests vanilla bean paste over extract, and keeping the cream lightly sweet.
- Heat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and trim the crusts from the brioche.
- Mash the butter and brown sugar together, then mix in the salt and honey.
- Coat every face of each slice — top, bottom, and sides — with the butter mixture.
- Bake on a tray for 10 minutes, flip each piece gently, and bake 8 minutes more.
- Rest the toast untouched for about 2 minutes, then move to a cooling rack for 8–10 minutes until firm.
- For the optional cream, whip the cold cream with vanilla bean paste and powdered sugar to stiff peaks and spoon over the toast.
