1/2 avocado

1 egg

1,5tbsp butter

okay babes. i feel like my recent posts were a bit too formal?? i guess?? so from now on the recipes are probably going to be more chaotic but also more detailed as i just want to go in depth with every step i took during the cooking/shooting process:)

1. cut up your melon (watch the video for instructions). the slices should be around 1cm thick.

2. melt 1/2 tbsp butter on a hot pan and place your melon slices on there. fry on each side on medium-high heat until it gets nicely caramelized and brown. it is up to you how many melon slices you want to use - i recommend three per bun.

3. in the meantime, boil a pot of water, add 1 egg into a cup (be careful to not destroy the yolk!), stir the water well and pour the egg into the water tornado. cook for 2.5 minutes, then remove from the water onto a paper towel, carefully.

4. cut an avocado into thin slices.

5. remove melon slices from the pan, but keep the heat on. melt 1 tbsp butter. cut a bun in half and place it on the pan. once it turns brown, turn the heat off.

6. assemble your sandwich: spread cream cheese on both sides of the bun, place mâche (corn salad), followed by black forest ham, melon slices, avocado slices, poached egg, salt n pepper, and parmesan. close the bun and enjoy your perfect summer breakfast🩷

brioche is easily my number one when it comes to bread. buttery, sweet, soft AND crunchy at the same time. i totally suck at baking so if i can do it, so can you babes<3

25g fresh yeast (or 7g of instant yeast)

200ml of room temperature milk

5g of sugar

360g all purpose flour

5g salt

20g sugar

1 egg

40g soft unsalted butter

1 egg

a splash of milk

1. Make a starter by combining 25g of fresh yeast (or 7g of instant yeast), 5g of sugar (white or cane), and 200ml of room temperature milk. Mix well until combined.

2. Put the starter in a warm place for 20-30 minutes. The yeast should create bubbles at the top of the starter.

3. Combine 360g of all-purpose flour, 5g of salt, and 20g of sugar in a food processor and mix well on low speed.

4. Add the starter to the dry ingredients. Mix well on medium speed.

5. After the starter and dry ingredients are well combined, add 40g of soft unsalted butter and 1 egg. Mix well on medium speed for at least 8 minutes.

6. Remove the dough from the food processor and knead it a little to form a ball. The dough should be very sticky. If the dough is too sticky and liquidy, knead in a bit more flour.

7. Put the dough in a bowl, cover it with a kitchen cloth, and leave it to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

8. After 1 hour, take the dough out of the bowl and knead it by hand a little. Form a ball, and cut the dough into 6 pieces.

9. Form 6 buns and lay them on a baking tray covered with parchment paper. Cover them with a kitchen cloth and leave them to rise for another hour.

10. After 1 hour, combine 1 egg and a splash (1 tbsp) of milk in a bowl and mix well. Spread the egg and milk mixture on the buns. There should be no dry spot left on any bun (except for the bottom part, of course).

11. Bake them in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for 18-20 minutes.

12. Take your brioche buns out and wait for at least 30 minutes before consuming!
