Notes

Serve the brioche warm or at room temperature, sliced with a sharp knife for clean cuts. A small spread of butter or a dusting of powdered sugar enhances the flavor. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze for up to one month. Can be reheated in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes.
