brioche
Eggy French bread
Brioche is a French bread enriched with butter and eggs, giving it a rich, slightly sweet flavor and tender, golden crumb.
It's often shaped into a round loaf with a distinctive topknot or baked in fluted molds.
Brioche appears at breakfast with jam, as burger buns, or in French toast: The brioche was still warm from the oven.
