A brioche is a type of rich bread that's often flaky and tender. It's usually made with butter, eggs, and yeast.
You might see brioche on the menu at a fancy bakery or café, but it's not just for special occasions – you can also make brioche at home to serve as a side dish or use it to make sandwiches. Some people like to toast their brioche and top it with cheese or eggs for breakfast, while others use it to hold juicy burgers or steaks. Brioche is also a popular choice for stuffing chicken breasts or making croutons – its rich flavor pairs well with many different ingredients.
(countable and uncountable) A type of light sweet pastry or bun of French origin.
