01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ cup butter, softened 1 (1 pound) loaf brioche nonstick cooking spray

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by mixing the softened butter with the brown sugar and cinnamon until it’s well combined. Spread this cinnamon butter generously over each slice of brioche. Heat up your grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick spray with some nonstick spray to keep things from sticking. Place the slices buttered-side down on the grill and let them cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, until they’re nicely caramelized and golden. Once they’re done, carefully take them off the grill and transfer to a plate. Serve warm and enjoy!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use day-old bread for a firmer texture that toasts nicely.
- Spread butter evenly to help the cinnamon sugar stick and create a golden crust.
- Keep an eye on the toast while grilling to avoid burning the sugar.

Serving ideas

Enjoy warm with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of cream cheese for extra richness. Pair it with a cup of coffee or tea to balance the sweetness. Fresh fruit on the side adds a refreshing contrast.

Storage & leftovers

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. Reheat briefly in a toaster or oven to restore crispness. Avoid refrigeration, as it can make the toast soggy.
