Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Brioche
  1. Slice your brioche buns in half. Lightly butter the inner sides. You can also use brioche slices if buns are not available.
Step 2: Add the Ice Cream
  1. Put a single scoop of ice cream on each brioche’s bottom slice. Gently press the top slice over it.
Step 3: Grill the Sandwich
  1. Heat a non-stick pan or press. Grill the sandwich for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp, but not melted.
Step 4: Serve Immediately

Croque Glace is best made fresh. However, you can pre-scoop the ice cream and freeze it in plastic wrap to save time.
