Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick-cut bread (preferably sourdough or brioche)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: powdered sugar, maple syrup, or fresh fruits

Instructions
 

Preheat your Oven: Set your oven to broil (high setting) and let it warm up while you prepare the cinnamon mixture.

    Make the Cinnamon Butter: In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well integrated.

      Prepare the Bread: Lay the slices of bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to catch any drips. Using a butter knife or spatula, generously spread a thick layer of the cinnamon butter mixture on one side of each slice.

        Broil the Bread: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven, making sure the bread is on the middle rack. Broil for about 1-3 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and bubbly. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning!

          Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the toast cool slightly before plating. If desired, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or top with fresh fruits for an extra special touch. Serve warm!
