Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Thick-cut bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.25 teaspoons Coarse sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace. Start by setting the bread slices on a clean surface.
2. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of softened unsalted butter to create a spreadable paste.
3. Evenly spread the sugar-butter mixture onto one side of each bread slice, ensuring full coverage.
4. Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
5. Once the skillet is warm, place the bread slices buttered-side down onto the skillet.
6. Let the bread cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes. As the sugar melts, it will caramelize and darken, creating the burnt sugar effect.
7. Check the edges carefully; once the sugar layer is deep golden brown with slightly burnt edges, remove the slices from the skillet. Avoid burning too much for a balanced flavor.
8. Allow the caramelized side to cool slightly as the sugar hardens, leaving a crisp layer.
9. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of coarse sea salt over the caramelized side for a sweet and salty contrast.
10. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Burnt Sugar Toast!
