I look at the weather first to make sure the approach I want to brief is legal. This also a good time to double check the notams if you haven't already.

I use the Jepp briefing strip format along with "that which must be briefed" according to the FOM. More importantly, brief and verify, brief and verify. Because the PNF loaded the approach already, as I brief I verify the freq./ident, inbound course, minimums, and anything else I need for the approach is set on both sides as I brief the lateral and vertical profile (trust but verify).

Brief the missed approach or go-around profile as appropriate (I verify speed protection for the hold in the FMC here), and then talk about the runway exit and transfer of control if the PF won't taxi.

Reading what I've typed makes it sound like a 5 minute production, but it reality it takes about less than a minute to fully brief everything.
