Broiled Cinnamon Toast Food

CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Smush the softened butter with a fork. Dump in the sugar, cinnamon and vanilla. Stir to completely combine. Spread the mixture on the bread slices, completely covering the surfaces all the way to the edges.
• Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Turn on the broiler and broil until golden brown and bubbling. Watch so it doesn't burn!
• Cut the slices into halves diagonally and serve.

GRILLED CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar and cinnamon into the softened butter. Spread cinnamon butter over each slice of brioche.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Spray grates with nonstick spray.
• Place each slice of brioche on the grill, buttered-side down. Grill until caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.

CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• Use a toaster to toast the bread to desired darkness. Spread butter or margarine onto one side of each slice. In a cup or small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle generously over hot buttered toast.

BROILED CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• Pre-heat your broiler. Lightly butter one side of each piece of bread. Place on cookie sheet. Sprinkle one teaspoon of white sugar across the surface of each piece of bread.
• Shake cinnamon (to taste) over the sugar and butter layer.
• Broil 6" below the broiler element until butter bubbles, sugar melts and cinnamon turns dark. Keep an eye on your cinnamon toast. This will only take a couple of minutes.
• Serve hot to warm.

CINNAMON TOAST

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.

HEALTHY (BELIEVE IT!) CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• Mash the banana (easiest with a fork in a shallow bowl) to make the luscious "banana butter". Toast the bread.
• In a jar, combine the flax, sugar and cinnamon and shake till well mixed. You may want to add more sugar- this combo had just the right sweetness for me.
• Spread some of the mashed banana on each slice of bread, and generously sprinkle each with flaxen-cinnamon sugar.
• Enjoy with a cold glass of rice or soy milk and a fruit bowl.
