Ingredients
4 slices thick bread (brioche or Texas toast)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Arrange bread slices on the prepared baking sheet.

4. Spread the cinnamon butter evenly over each bread slice.
5. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are golden.
6. Let rest briefly and serve warm.
Notes
Use brioche for a richer flavor or Texas toast for a sturdier texture.
Soften butter before mixing for easier spreading.
Adjust cinnamon to taste for a milder flavor.
Watch closely during the final minutes to prevent burning.
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
Reheat in a 350°F oven for 4–6 minutes.
Freeze assembled, unbaked slices for 1–2 months for best quality.
