Brioche buns for burgers

DGS1 adores brioche buns - with any filling. Personally, I think they’re too sweet for anything savoury.
Brioche + Burger = Yuck!

Brioche buns with a burger? Wrong on all levels, like eating a hotdog in an iced finger.......minus the icing.

And cheese.......why, oh why, do people think it is ok to put a slice of processed cheese that hugely resembles a slice of floppy, waxy plastic, onto a burger or anything else for that matter? I just do not understand it.

But give me a slice of rich fruit cake, the sort your grandmother made at the end of summer in readiness for Christmas, serve it with a portion of Wensleydale and a glass of quality red wine..........delicious!

Joseann I prefer to have any burger bun lightly toasted.

Interesting, (for me anyway as a breadmaking enthusiast), that it's the taste and not the texture that some people don't like along with a burger. Brioche is fluffier than normal bread, so it should soak up any relish nicely. How about toasting it first very lightly?
Some abominations of cuisine are poncy, but I agree with mae13 on this one.

I am not fussed either way, I tend to buy the sesame seed burger buns but our AC always use brioche buns.

I much prefer a brioche bun with a burger ....really lovely 😋

I agree - brioche buns are far too sweet when eaten with a burger .

Brioche buns - can't get enough of them. And using them for burgers is wonderful - it's no different than eating fruit cake with Stilton cheese. That's another bloody good combination. Yessssss!

Thank goodness other people think the same as me. Burgers in Brioche Buns...Just No.......

Are they super bad for you ? They are very sweet but nice with butter and jam. I feel guilty eating them, though.

Brioche burger buns are an abomination. What you need for a burger is a sesame seed bun, nothing else.

Ijustwantpeace2020 thoroughly agree with you. Burgers are not made for brioche buns, ever!

I agree too.
Truly horrible!

I love brioche burger buns! I now use them for bacon or ham or roast beef sandwiches, and yes, I know they're a bit sweet!

Spinnaker Tue 23-Apr-24 22:36:23

It's like having a burger between two slices of cake - ugh 🤮

Joseann Tue 23-Apr-24 22:17:44

I don't really associate a brioche burger bun with true brioche. The latter is far sweeter. Brioche burger buns are just an enriched dough and work well with most fillings.
I'll give you one of my plain white rolls I make Ijustwantpeace to take with you instead!

Can’t abide burgers in brioche buns if I go somewhere that serves them I usually leave the bun. It just tastes wrong!

I agree with the OP. Brioches with burgers is weird, as is croissants with ham and cheese.
I know it's all a matter of personal taste but some things are just wrong!

Ijustwantpeace2020 thoroughly agree with you. Burgers are not made for brioche buns, ever!

I make beetroot felafels and they’re delicious with a brioche bun.

I have to have gluten free brioche and it’s the one type of gf bread that actually works.

Norah Tue 23-Apr-24 22:06:03

I love them with black bean burgers, tomatoes, lettuce, avo, and a bit of hummus. I make vegan brioche buns at least once a week. Our workers love brioche as well, extra for their take home parcels.

I love them with a cup of tea - bought some today, but where did I leave them? I’m off to find them - my midnight snack 😋

Mollygo Tue 23-Apr-24 21:58:48

I don’t mind them, but then I occasionally buy sweet and salty popcorn too.

I hate brioche buns when used for burgers! Brioche is sweet. Burgers are savoury. Most restaurants don’t give you a choice and I rarely eat burgers at home and now can’t have one out either. I’ve even considered taking my own white roll with me. Who thought up this abomination of cuisine??
