VALENTINE'S DAY CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat an oven or toaster oven to 425 degrees.
• Cut XOXO letters or hearts out of parchment paper. Spread bread with butter on both sides. Place bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and adhere stencils.
• In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon. Generously sprinkle cinnamon sugar over toast. Bake until crisp and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Peel off stencils; serve immediately.

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.

VALENTINE'S DAY FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Beat eggs, milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon together with a fork in a bowl until somewhat smooth.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Dip a bread slice into egg mixture to evenly and generously coat each side and put into the hot skillet; cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with each bread slice.
• Cut each slice in half on a diagonal and arrange onto 2 plates. Arrange banana and strawberry slices on the plates around the French toast. Drizzle maple syrup over the French toast; dust with confectioners' sugar.

VALENTINE'S DAY TOAST

Steps:

• First, you mix up the amount of sugar and cinnamon that you need for each slice of bread (2 Tbs. of sugar is a but more than is needed, but it is the best mixture as you will see). Place your slices of bread in the toaster. You may toast it in anyway that you want to but if you toast the bread too much, the quality by others may not be so well accepted.
• After you toast the bread to your liking, place the toast on a surface that you can cut it on (if you want to cut it). If you want to cut it into a heart shape, do so, though you don't have to.
• Take the butter and spread it over the toast. After you have enough on, sprinkle as much of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the toast as you want to. Be aware that too much makes it unappetizing and too little only teases the tongue.

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.
