Lovely green avocado brioche
A brioche that replaces butter (or oil) with avocado! When i first saw this, i had to make it. Can’t believe it has been more than two years since I last made this. My adaption below (namely, less sugar). The crust is very dark because I egg yolk-washed it, but the crumb is a nice pale green. You can taste the avocado in it, and I think it makes a particularly nice sandwich bread (somehow the taste of avocado reminds me of ham).
Use a sweet, dense and rich-tasting avocado for a better taste. Also I remember from the last time, the taste changed slightly the following day because of the avocado element. I think it’s at its best freshly baked. Won’t be able to tell this time because there’s none left!

Wow! That sounds delightful ! I don’t make brioche very often but I am going to have to try this as it sounds really fun 🙂
As brioches go, this one is less sinful. Could it even be considered ‘heart-healthy’?? Since it contains avocado 🙂
