BEST CINNAMON TOAST EVER

Categories     Bread     Breakfast     Snack

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup unsalted butter, well softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
4 slices bread

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, combine the butter, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. You'll need the butter to be pretty soft to get it all combined.
  • Spread the mixture evenly over one side of each of the 4 pieces of bread, being sure to cover all the way up to the edges of the bread. It's going to seem like a lot, but trust me.
  • Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake it in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Next turn the broiler on and broil the toast until it is deep golden brown and the sugar is bubbling. I usually stand right at the oven with the door cracked so I can watch it best and prevent it from burning.
  • Slice in halves, if desired, and serve.

CINNAMON TOAST



Cinnamon Toast image

The ingredients for cinnamon toast - bread, cinnamon, sugar and butter - have remained largely unchanged since the recipe first appeared in 15th century Europe, where it was introduced as a less expensive version of French toast. Some variations call for adding the cinnamon and sugar before toasting, others after. The secret to achieving a cinnamon toast that's both gooey and crunchy? A combination of both methods. Toast the bread in butter in a skillet, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, flip so the sugar caramelizes, then sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar when it's done. Toasting the bread in a skillet (like French toast) produces browned butter, which adds nutty warmth.

Time 10m

Yield 4 slices

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons granulated or brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Pinch of kosher salt
Unsalted butter, for cooking
4 slices of bread, such as white, whole wheat or brioche

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cinnamon and salt.
  • Melt some butter in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-low; you'll want enough to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet when melted. When bubbling, add as many bread slices as will fit. Swirl the bread around to absorb the butter, adding more butter if the pan is dry. Cook until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning.
  • Add another pat of butter, flip the bread and swirl to coat the other side in butter, gently pressing the bread to pick up any browned bits. Sprinkle the toasted tops edge to edge with a thin layer of the cinnamon sugar. Cook until the underside is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more butter and adjusting temperature if the pan is dry or the toast is burning.
  • Flip and cook until the sugar sizzles and starts to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a plate, sugar side up. (If any melted sugar sticks to the pan, gently swipe the bread over it to pick it up.) Sprinkle toasts with more cinnamon sugar. Wipe skillet and repeat with any remaining bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of bread, butter, and spices.
  • If you don't have a griddle, you can cook the cinnamon toast in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Watch the cinnamon toast closely so that it doesn't burn.
  • Serve the cinnamon toast immediately with your favorite toppings.
