Ingredients
- 4 lices sandwich bread
- 1/4 cup salted butter softened, 56g
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar 50g
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place your bread on a broiler-safe ungreased, unlined baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Use a fork to stir until the mixture forms a paste that is uniform in color.
- Divide the cinnamon butter mixture evenly between the pieces of bread and spread it over the slices from edge to edge, completely covering each piece.
- Place baking sheet on the top or center rack of your oven (you want it in the top half of your oven, but at least 5 inches from the broiler so your bread doesn’t burn). Bake for 10 minutes or until bread is lightly crispy.
- Turn the broiler on high and broil toast until cinnamon sugar is bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes. If at any time the edges of your toast begin to burn, pull them out of the oven. DO NOT walk away from your toast under the broiler and watch it closely.
- Allow the toast to cool slightly, slice, and enjoy!

Notes
- If using unsalted butter, add 1/8 teaspoon table salt with the sugar and cinnamon for balanced flavor.
- Almost any sandwich bread works well, but hearty wheat bread adds extra texture and flavor.
