This dessert, which is taken from French cuisine, is a soft, rich custard topped with a contrasting layer of hard caramel.

Perfect for French toast, Brioche has a high egg and butter content, which gives it a rich and tender crumb.

I first discovered Brioche when I made this Pain Perdu recipe by Gordon Ramsay. Brioche has a high egg and butter content, which gives it a rich and tender crumb. Sounds perfect for French toast. Indeed, in my opinion, the best bread for making this dish.

These Parisian-style street crêpes are the real deal. During my trip to Paris, France, I discovered how wonderful, yet simple crêpes could be. The key ingredient to making these crêpes authentic is to use butter imported from France, such as Président.
