Brioches with egg whites

brioches with egg whites

I decided to prepare these brioches with egg whites because I had leftover egg whites in my fridge. I doubled the recipe because I had 4 egg whites and so the final portions are 10 brioches. They are even big. No leftovers. And we are just two.

I saw this recipe on La Pancia del Lupo blog, where I had already found the Locatelli’s no-knead focaccia. Also for this time, I modified a little the recipe. But I believe we all do it, it’s like personalizing it. Even my daughter change a little my recipes. But sometimes I do it for practical reasons: I used half margarine half butter because I had not enough margarine.  I rarely buy it, except for a specific recipe.

These brioches are perfect for breakfast. While they are into the oven, they release such a wonderful aroma that you can also feel at each bite.
