SWEET BRIOCHE CROUTONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut bread slices into 3/4-inch cubes. Place in a medium bowl. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over bread cubes. Pour in butter; toss until bread cubes are evenly coated. Place on a baking sheet, and cook until golden brown and beginning to crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm.

BRIOCHE CROUTONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place brioche chunks in a large mixing bowl. Add Parmesan cheese, basil, and garlic; pour in butter. Mix using a rubber spatula, being careful not to tear the bread. Spread on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

CROUTONS

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large (10-inch) saute pan until hot. Add the bread and cook over medium heat, tossing frequently, until the bread is evenly toasted and browned. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

BACON-BRIOCHE CROUTONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the brioche in a mixing bowl. In a cast-iron skillet or other heavy ovenproof skillet, cook the bacon over medium-low heat for about 3 minutes, until most of the fat has rendered but the bacon hasn't gotten too brown or crispy. Turn off the heat, add the butter to the pan, and swirl the pan until the butter is fully melted. Pour the bacon with the fat into the mixing bowl with the brioche, sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly. Spread the croutons across a baking sheet.
• Bake the croutons, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. (Note that brioche will toast up a slightly darker color than some other types of bread because of its sugar and egg content.) The croutons can be made up to 2 hours in advance and rewarmed in the oven just before serving.

ICE CREAM WITH CARAMEL BRIOCHE CROUTONS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the butter, sugar, and water. Stir until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes.
• Allow sugar mixture to boil, and caramelize until the syrup is a medium amber color, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the cubes of brioche a handful at a time, and stir to coat. When all croutons are coated, transfer to prepared baking sheet. Quickly spread croutons so they are not touching. Let cool. To serve, fill four serving dishes with ice cream; garnish with caramel croutons.

HOMEMADE CROUTONS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Rub the whole garlic clove over both sides of the sourdough. Tear it into rough chunks and toss with the oil, a good pinch of salt and the seeds.
• Spread out on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 mins until golden and crisp. Mix with the chopped parsley. Sprinkle on soup or a salad for added crunch.

LYONNAISE SALAD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 300 F.
• Cut, wash, and dry the frisée lettuce.
• Cut the brioche into cubes. Bake until browned and almost crispy, about 7 to 10 minutes. When toasted, set aside to cool.
• Cut the bacon into large lardons, approximately 1/2-inch thick. In a sauté pan over medium heat, fry the lardons until they are golden and the fat has rendered substantially, about 7 to 9 minutes. Remove the lardons and all but 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat. Drain lardons on a paper towel and set aside.
• Add the diced shallots to the pan with the remaining fat and sauté over low heat until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• To a small jar or bottle with a lid, add the oil, vinegar, and mustard. Add the sautéed shallots. Close the jar and shake until emulsified , about 30 to 60 seconds. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Add 3 inches of water to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer.
• Gently crack the egg into a small bowl or ramekin, taking care not to break the yolk. Stir the simmering water with a wooden spoon to create a little vortex, then gently tip the egg into the center. Poach the egg for 3 minutes.
• While the egg is poaching, toss the frisée with the vinaigrette and lardons.
• Plate with the dressed bacon and frisée on the bottom, followed by the brioche croutons.
• Remove the egg with a slotted spoon. Allow the egg to drain for a moment in the spoon, then place it atop the salad. Finish with salt and fresh ground pepper. Serve immediately.
