Ingredients
- 4 thick slices of brioche (I hand cut mine and they were 2½ inches thick)
- 7 tbsp butter (unsalted, softened)
- 3 ½ tbsp honey (+ more for topping)
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- pinch salt
- 5 oz ricotta
- 3 oz cream cheese
- fleur de sel (or flaky salt, to taste)
- rosemary (to taste)
Steps
- 1
Preheat your oven to 380°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Cut off the edges of the bread and cut each slice into 2 rectangles. Place on a sheet pan with parchment paper and bake at 380°F for 2 minutes and then flip and bake for another 2 minutes. This initial bake will dry them out slightly and produce better results in the end.
- 3
In a bowl, mix the butter, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, black pepper and a pinch of salt.
- 4
Spread a thin layer of the butter on every side of the brioche, don't forget the end caps.
- 5
Bake for 8-11 minutes (check at the 8 minute mark) on the first side, flip over and bake another 6-7 minutes or until deeply golden, be careful not to burn.
- 6
Let them sit on a cooling rack for 20 minutes.
- 7
In a food processor, whip the ricotta and cream cheese.
- 8
Pipe the cheese onto the toasts, drizzle honey, fleur de sel and rosemary.
