Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Place the oven rack in the upper-middle position so the top of the baking sheet will be at least 5 inches below the broiler element.
• Arrange the 4 slices of sandwich bread in a single layer on a broiler-safe, ungreased, unlined baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup (56 g) softened salted butter, 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Use a fork to stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.
• Divide the cinnamon-butter mixture evenly among the 4 bread slices and spread it edge to edge on each slice.
• Place the baking sheet on the prepared rack and bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until the bread is lightly crispy.
• Switch the oven to the broiler on high. Broil the toast for 1 to 2 minutes, watching constantly, until the cinnamon sugar is bubbling and lightly browned. If the edges begin to burn, remove the baking sheet immediately. Do not leave the broiler unattended.
• Remove the toast from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy.
