Honey Toast
Report
Honey Toast is an easy to make, very delicious treat! The sugar-custard topping creates a sweet crust right onto the surface of the soft milk bread (or brioche). There are a large variety of toppings that can be used, but we keeps ours simple with some fluffy whipped cream, macerated strawberries, a drizzle of honey, and some toasted coconut!

- Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons honey batter over each slice of bread until fully covered.
- Transfer brioche onto a parchment lined baking sheet about 1/2 inch apart (may need 2 baking sheets).
- Allow brioche to sit for about 10 minutes, then transfer to the oven and bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until brioche has to a golden brown.

Notes
- Tips and Tricks for Honey Toast Success
- Allow the toast to cool for several minutes before topping and serving. This will give the toasts time to cool and the sugars to harden, creating the crisp and crackling crust!
- Prep Ahead Instructions
- The custard mixture for honey toast can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. Store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to use. When ready to use, remove mixture from refrigerator about 15 minutes before using. Stir mixture until smooth before spreading.
- If you're worried about slicing through the bottom of the bread, place 2 wooden spoons on either side of the bread slice. Then slice just until you hit the spoons. This will ensure even depth cuts every time, without having to worry about slicing through the bottom!

- Once the custard mixture is spread onto the bread slices, gently open the slits up to ensure the custard seeps in between every nook for maximum caramelization, crunch and flavor!
