French Fridays with Dorie: Nutella Tartine

It was hard for me not to make this week’s FFWD recipe. It’s toast– heck, I can make time for that! Toast with yummy stuff on top, that is. This tartine is a thick slice of brioche with butter, marmalade, Nutella, nuts and salt. You could buy everything and simply assemble it, but I happened to have a couple of the components in homemade form (but already on hand). I still had some homemade brioche in the freezer, and over the holidays, my BFF and I made a big pot of mixed-citrus marmalade to give to family. A bit of sweet, a bit of sour and a bit of salt…this is toast at its finest. Dorie says this is a typical after-school snack for French children, but I ate mine for breakfast. Then I went to the dentist and he found no cavities. Breakfast of champions.

Lucky! All my pre-made brioche was eaten. I’ll have to try it again after I make more brioche loaves!

Looks great. I love Nutella, but I would never have thought to add chopped nuts as a garnish…or the salt. Delish.

Breakfast of champions indeed! That’s too funny. The mixed citrus marmalade sounds wonderful.

Love your photos, and have to admit that I was reading your blog long before I figured out about this group cook & blog thing. Your blog finally got me hooked, so thanks!

Love your picture! I agree, this is so easy how can you not make it?

Ah, Nutella and marmalade tartines must be approved by the American Dental Assoc. to not cause cavities. What a pitch that would be!

Yum. NOthing wrong with Nutella and brioche.

I agree, this one was too easy to pass up! Love the composition of your photo.

I had every intention of making this. I had been thinking about it Thursday night even. However, my 4 year old had a lousy morning on Friday and I totally forgot about it. Maybe tomorrow. 🙂

I can’t believe I didn’t make this one – my kids would have devoured it! OK, I would have devoured it too. On my to-do list. Yours looks beautiful.

I’m jealous of all the homemade citrus marmalades! And homemade brioche to boot. That’s a lovely photo.

great for you! maybe you can send a slice of this over to the dentist as a thank- you 🙂

Your tartine looks perfect! I think your marmalade sounds like a really good fit for it, too. The only danger is knowing how relatively easy it is to make brioche at home.
