BREAD AND BUTTER
Check out that photo of the ingredients. Now, I’m pretty sure we can all agree that whenever bread meets butter, something pretty special happens, right? For this recipe to really exceed all expectations, two things need to happen.
First, we had the best success and results using a premium sliced white or whole wheat bread. We’ll let you select your favourite, but if you’re planning to make this breakfast treat for a crowd, buy extra. There are always requests for more (and more!). Second thing, the butter needs to be very soft before you begin. This makes blending it with the other ingredients way easier.
BEST ZEST
The addition of orange zest in this recipe takes the flavour of the finished toast to a whole new level of fabulousness. I’ll admit, I added it on a whim, but I’m sure glad because it’s as much about the fragrance as it is about flavour. Your kitchen will smell wonderful as the toast bakes and broils.
Having written the above, I know one of you keeners out there are going to swap the orange for a lemon, and why not? Drop a comment below if you do – we want to hear how you fare when you make this at home.
BUTTER UP
Blending the soft butter with two sugars and cinnamon brought back memories of breakfast in the Manojlovich household. Back in the day, my mom would butter toast and then sprinkle it with a sugar-spice mixture from a nifty vintage shaker, just like old-fashioned cinnamon toast.
I think our new approach is way better because of the way we blend the ingredients before the bread is toasted. Finally, I made and ate a lot of toast during the testing of this recipe; it was important for us to get the quantity of salt right. I’ll go on record saying that the tiny bit of salt added is the game changer for this recipe, you’ll see!
WHY IT WORKS
Here’s what’s going to happen: you’re going to prepare the butter mixture and spread it on your slices of bread. As the toast bakes in the hot oven, your kitchen is going to fill with some very appetizing aromas. You’ll really start believing when you add the sliced almonds to the bread, but then comes that final step. We’re telling you to watch the toast closely (don’t take your eyes off of it, not even for a second!), and you’ll be amazed as it gets rich, amber coloured and bubbly.
What’s to expect? A salty, sweet, spiced and scented toast with a crispy, crunchy finish! This time I really, really mean it – wait until you take that first bite!
