Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 slices thick-cut bread (brioche, milk bread, or Texas toast)
Butter and Sweeteners:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ tablespoons (22.5 milliliters) honey
Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Optional Toppings:
- Vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream
- Berries
- Additional honey
- Cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a toasty 375F (190C) and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet for the upcoming culinary creation.
- Combine softened butter, golden honey, fragrant vanilla, and a delicate salt sprinkle in a mixing vessel, whisking until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform blend.
- Gently carve a decorative crosshatch pattern across the bread surface, slicing approximately halfway through the slice without completely separating the pieces.
- Lavishly coat the bread with the honey-infused butter mixture, ensuring the golden spread penetrates the intricate cuts for maximum flavor absorption.
- Transfer the prepared toast to the preheated baking sheet, allowing it to transform in the oven’s warmth for 10-12 minutes until the edges crisp and the surface achieves a gloriously golden hue.
- For enthusiasts seeking an extra caramelized finish, activate the broiler momentarily – but remain vigilant, as mere seconds can distinguish between perfectly burnished and accidentally charred.
Notes
- Customize sweetness levels by adjusting honey quantity, making it perfect for those who prefer less or more sugary treats.
- Experiment with different bread types like brioche, sourdough, or whole wheat to create unique texture and flavor variations.
- Toast can be transformed into a gluten-free option by using gluten-free bread alternatives for individuals with dietary restrictions.
- Enhance nutritional value by sprinkling chopped nuts, seeds, or a light dusting of cinnamon before baking for added crunch and complexity.
