Cinnamon Roll Toast

Ingredients

• 2 bread (thick-cut slices like brioche or Texas toast)
• 2 tbsp butter (softened)
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 0.5 tsp cinnamon
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp milk
• 0.25 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp cream cheese (softened, for glaze)
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 1 tsp milk or cream (for glaze consistency)

Steps

1. 1

   In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until a smooth paste forms.

2. 2

   Spread the cinnamon butter mixture generously over one side of each slice of bread.

3. 3

   In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.

4. 4

   Carefully dip the bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides but being careful not to let the cinnamon butter slide off.

5. 5

   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the bread in the skillet, cinnamon-butter side down first.

6. 6

   Cook for 2-3 minutes until the cinnamon sugar has caramelized and formed a crust, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

7. 7

   While the toast cooks, whisk together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and a splash of milk or cream to create a smooth glaze.

8. 8

   Remove the toast from the pan and drizzle with the cream cheese glaze while warm.

Notes

For best results, use a sturdy bread like brioche that can hold the weight of the cinnamon butter and the custard soak. If the butter mixture is too hard to spread, microwave it for 5 seconds.
