TWD: Brioche Plum Tart

Denise of Chez Us! chose the Brioche Plum Tart for this week's Tuesdays with Dorie recipe. I had the tart made ahead of time but as seems to be my habit of late, waited until almost the end of the day to write up the post! I'm a lazy bum...I know...sorry!

I love brioche and plums so I was eager to try this recipe. I had a great success the last time I made brioche and even though it wasn't a super quick process, the flavor was definitely worth the time. This version of the brioche wasn't something that could be whipped up quickly either. I was still able to mix it up and bake in one afternoon however so it is doable in one day.

I was very disappointed with the tart. I was expecting something rich and buttery. The brioche was very dry. After cooling, the brioche had the texture of stale bread the day it was made! It also browned up a lot more quickly than I expected. This, of course, could have something to do with the dryness.

Dryness aside, this was a beautiful tart. It looked really impressive Right out of the oven, the juices of the plums had released TONS of juice! I wish some of it had soaked up into the rest of the brioche and not just the top!

For those who asked about Charlie last week, he's still here! I just didn't want to tempt him with the chocolate brownies last week! lol!
