A toasted brioche bread oven baked with a honey brown sugar butter, dipped in sesame seeds to make a sesame seed candy and topped with a whipped cream cheese and feta.

Equipment

Ingredients

3 thick slices of brioche I hand cut mine and they were 2½ inches thick
8 tbsp butter unsalted, softened
3½ tbsp honey + more for topping
6 tbsp brown sugar
pinch salt
¼-⅓ cup sesame seeds untoasted
4 oz feta
4 oz cream cheese
thyme to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 380°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
In a bowl, mix butter, honey, brown sugar and a pinch of salt.
Spread a thin layer of the butter on every side of the brioche, don't forget the end caps.
Crust the 2 widest sides with sesame seeds.
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.
Let them sit on a cooling rack for 20 minutes.
Once it cools, peel off the "sesame candy" that was left on the parchment paper.
In a food processor, whip the feta and cream cheese.
Pipe the cheese onto the toasts, drizzle honey, crumble the sesame candy and add thyme.
