Saucisson brioche

Saucisson brioche is a French specialty hailing from the city of Lyon. It consists of a whole sausage that's (usually) coated in pistachios, then baked inside a brioche loaf. The saucisson is a large and thick sausage, while the dough is less sweet and egg-rich than the standard breakfast brioche that can be bought in most boulangeries. The combination is baked in the oven until the loaf becomes golden brown. Once done, it is served warm in slices. It's recommended to pair this delicacy with a glass of Beaujolais.
