- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh fruit for topping (such as sliced strawberries, bananas, or blueberries)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- Chopped nuts for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients listed above.
- Soften the Butter: If your butter is not already softened, leave it out at room temperature for about 30 minutes or microwave it for about 10 seconds.
- Mix the Honey Butter: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, ground cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Taste Test: Adjust sweetness or cinnamon to your liking.
- Choose Your Bread: Use thick-cut brioche or challah for the best texture.
- Slice the Bread: Cut the bread into thick slices, about 1-inch thick.
- Preheat Your Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Spread the Honey Butter: Generously spread honey butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Toast the Bread: Place the slices, buttered side down, onto the skillet. Toast for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip and Toast the Other Side: Spread more honey butter on the unbuttered side, flip the slices, and toast for another 2-3 minutes.
- Repeat: Keep finished slices warm in a low oven (around 200°F or 93°C) while toasting the rest.
- Prepare Your Toppings: Wash and slice your fresh fruit.
- Plate the Toast: Arrange the toasted slices on a serving plate.
- Add the Fruit: Top each slice with fresh fruit.
- Dust with Powdered Sugar: Lightly dust with powdered sugar if desired.
