Would you like to offer a slightly more original recipe at your next appetizer gathering with friends?
Here are savory brioche buns filled with cream cheese, chives, and olives for an ultra-delicious tasting!
The New Aperitif Obsession That Breaks the Routine
If you’re tired of always offering the same thing at the aperitif, we’re proposing today a recipe that will undoubtedly make a splash! These little savory brioche buns are ultra-soft on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside with this grated-cheese crust, and very generous thanks to the filling of cream cheese, chives, and olives. We recommend serving them still a little warm for even more pleasure when tasting…
It’s ideal to break away from the aperitif cake we’ve seen time and again, and it’s much easier to make at home than you might think. Of course, you can vary the fillings according to what you have at home, and don’t hesitate to create new combinations for even more indulgence!
How to Make Savory Brioche?
To guarantee a perfect result, follow all of our steps closely—you won’t go wrong! The secret is really to mix the yeast with the sugar and the warm milk (not hot!) and to let this mixture rest a few minutes before incorporating it into the rest of the brioche dough ingredients. For the rise, we recommend letting the dough rest in the warmest spot in the house so that the yeast acts.
And for a magnificent glaze, you can lightly brush the edges of the brioche with a little milk (but this is not mandatory) or with an egg yolk diluted in a little water.
So, are you going to fall for this recipe or not? We’re already hooked…
To make this recipe, follow the steps below :
OLIVE BRIOCHE 🫒
Servings: 4
Ingredients :
For the brioche dough :
– 300 g flour
– 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
– 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
– 1 pinch salt
– 120 ml warm milk
– 1 whole egg
– 30 g melted butter
For the brioche filling :
– 150 g cream cheese
– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
– Pitted green and black olives
– Olive oil
РGrated cheese (Gruy̬re, Parmesan, or mozzarella)
Preparation :
1. Mix the warm milk with the dry yeast and the sugar, then let rest for 5 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, mix the flour with the salt, then pour in the milk-yeast mixture as well as the egg and melted butter. Knead until a soft and smooth dough is obtained. Cover with a cloth and let rise for 1 hour at room temperature.
3. When the dough has doubled in volume, deflate it with your fist and divide it into equal-sized portions. Shape small regular balls, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them well, and let rise for another 30 minutes.
4. When the dough balls have risen well, press the center of each ball with a greased glass (or a spoon) to form a hollow in the middle. Sprinkle the edges with grated cheese for a crispy result.
5. Mix the cream cheese with the chopped chives, then fill the centers of the brioche with this mixture. Arrange a few pitted green and black olives and drizzle with a light drizzle of olive oil.
6. Bake for about 20 minutes at 180°C until the brioche are nicely golden and soft. Let cool slightly before tasting!
