You can enjoy Pão brioche as is, sliced and toasted, or as a foundation for more elaborate meals. For French toast, soak slices in an egg and milk mixture before pan-frying until golden. It makes a superb bun for burgers, holding up well to juicy patties and toppings. Its sweetness also complements fruit-based desserts or can be used to create bread puddings. For sandwiches, its soft texture provides a pleasant contrast to fillings.
