Instructions:
- Set your oven's broiler to high. Allow it to preheat while you prepare the toast.
- Place the two slices of white bread on a baking sheet.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. This should only take about 10-15 seconds depending on your microwave’s power level, so watch carefully to prevent it from overheating.
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon until well combined.
- Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, evenly spread the melted butter over each slice of bread.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over the buttered bread, ensuring an even distribution to cover the entire surface.
- Place the baking sheet with the prepared bread under the broiler. Broil for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden and the cinnamon-sugar mixture is bubbling and slightly caramelized. Keep a close eye as this process happens quickly and can easily burn.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the toast cool for a minute or two. This allows the sugar to harden slightly and form a crunchy topping.
- Slice each piece of toast in half diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately.
