I believe the answer is:

toast

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'brown' is the first definition.
(to brown something is to toast it)

'bread that is given after the meal' is the second definition.
'toast' can be an answer for 'bread' (toast is a kind of bread). I am not sure about the remainder of the definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toast that I've seen before include "A bit of a bloomer, possibly" , "Drink, cook" , "It may be eaten (or drunk!)" , "It's found under marmalade and butter" , "Health drunk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
