Broiled Cinnamon Toast

• Set your oven to broil and let it preheat for at least 5 minutes before you start making your cinnamon toast. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
• Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Spread 1/2 tablespoon softened butter evenly over each slice, going all the way to the edges.
• Tip: Softened butter spreads more easily and helps the sugar and ground cinnamon stick better.
• Sprinkle the cinnamon evenly over the buttered bread, then sprinkle the sugar evenly over the cinnamon.

  Note: If using a cinnamon shaker: Give each slice a light, even dusting. You should still be able to see the buttered bread underneath.
• Place the pan under the broiler and broil for about 2 to 4 minutes, checking at 2 minutes and watching closely after that. The toast is ready when the edges are lightly browned, and the cinnamon-sugar topping is melted and bubbly.
• Remove the pan from the oven and let the toast cool for 1 to 2 minutes before serving. The melted sugar will be very hot.
