Brioche with smoked eel

Brioche with Smoked Eel

Print Recipe
Today I’m sharing a super easy yet elegant dish: brioche with smoked eel. Now, eel might not be the most common ingredient in the U.S., but it has a rich, buttery flavor that works beautifully with the soft, slightly sweet brioche. Paired with creamy cheese, fresh herbs, and a bit of crunch from lettuce, this makes a perfect appetizer for Easter or a special brunch.
Not sure about eel? No worries, this recipe works just as well with smoked salmon, making it an easy and accessible option for everyone. And the best part? It’s ready in just 10 minutes!
