Stale bread?

This is more of an idea than a recipe but I couldn't resist sharing! I watched Hugh's War on Waste recently - yes I know I'm behind but I've been busy and my Sky box was totally full of foodie programmes to catch up on! I'm a bit of a fanatic when it comes to using everything but this spurred me on to new heights.

Anyone who follows me on Instagram or Twitter will know I hosted my very first supper club with a colleague from Tabl just over a week ago. One of the dishes I cooked was a pulled pork slider with winter slaw - these were served in a little brioche bun (which I'll admit to buying rather than cooking myself).

There were a couple of buns left over, they sat in our office for about a week until they were horribly stale then I took them home - I had the perfect plan!! I'm not even going to pretend these were healthy as they definitely aren't but they are super tasty and make the perfect brunch/pudding/midnight snack.

Brioche french toast with honey

Stale brioche buns sliced in half (I had two but any bread or amount is fine, just adjust the eggs)
2 free range eggs, beaten
Glug of double cream
Flavourless coconut oil
Butter
Tiny pinch of salt
Honey

Beat the eggs and cream together with a tiny pinch of salt in a shallow bottomed dish that you can fit the brioche into, soak the brioche buns on both sides in the egg mix.
Heat the butter in a pan with a bit of oil to stop the butter burning.
Once your brioche is suitable soaked with egg mix, fry in the butter, turning over when browned.
Slide out onto a plate and drizzle with honey.
This would also be great with some sliced banana, mixed berries or even a dollop of whipped cream.
