Why Use Brioche In A Bread Pudding?

Sandwiches are a staple, but they can get a bit boring. Switching from regular white bread to brioche is an easy and delicious way to take your sandwiches from boring to “magnifique”!
Why Use Brioche Instead Of Regular Sliced Bread In Your Sandwich?
The soft, fluffy texture of brioche bread is perfect for sandwiches, as it provides a delicate and pillowy base for the fillings. Unlike regular white bread, brioche bread is less likely to become soggy or fall apart when filled with juicy ingredients, such as tomatoes or cucumbers, making it ideal for a variety of sandwich combinations.
Additionally, the slightly sweet flavors of brioche bread can complement both sweet and savory fillings, allowing for endless sandwich possibilities. Whether you’re making a classic ham and cheese sandwich or a creative vegetarian sandwich with roasted vegetables and hummus, using brioche bread can add a touch of sophistication and indulgence to your lunch.
