Ingredients
2 slices white or brioche bread, toasted
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Toast the bread until lightly golden and crisp.
Place the toasted slices on a shallow plate or in a wide bowl.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the milk, sugar, and butter. Heat gently, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the milk is hot but not boiling.
Pour the warm milk mixture evenly over the toast, allowing the bread to soften.
Sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon.
Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes so the toast can absorb some of the milk, then serve warm.
Optional Variations
Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra sweetness.
Sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg for a richer flavor.
Top with sliced bananas or fresh berries for a fruity twist.
Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for added indulgence.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with:
Fresh fruit such as berries, banana slices, or orange segments
A soft-boiled or scrambled egg for extra protein
A cup of coffee, hot tea, or warm cocoa
Warm, creamy, and gently sweet, this classic milk toast is a comforting reminder that the best recipes are often the simplest ones.
