Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Bread (thick slices, such as brioche or sourdough)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small mixing bowl, combine softened butter, sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Lay the bread slices flat on the prepared baking sheet.
Generously spread the cinnamon-sugar butter mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread, ensuring full coverage all the way to the edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the butter is melted and the sugar forms a bubbly, caramelized topping.
For an extra-crispy top, optionally switch the oven to broil and broil the toasts for an additional 1-2 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven and let the toasts cool for a minute or two before serving. They will crisp up slightly as they cool.
Serve warm as is, or pair with fresh fruit or a hot beverage for a festive Christmas morning treat.
