Grilled Cinnamon Toast Recipes

CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cinnamon and salt.
• Melt some butter in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-low; you'll want enough to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet when melted. When bubbling, add as many bread slices as will fit. Swirl the bread around to absorb the butter, adding more butter if the pan is dry. Cook until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning.
• Add another pat of butter, flip the bread and swirl to coat the other side in butter, gently pressing the bread to pick up any browned bits. Sprinkle the toasted tops edge to edge with a thin layer of the cinnamon sugar. Cook until the underside is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more butter and adjusting temperature if the pan is dry or the toast is burning.
• Flip and cook until the sugar sizzles and starts to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a plate, sugar side up. (If any melted sugar sticks to the pan, gently swipe the bread over it to pick it up.) Sprinkle toasts with more cinnamon sugar. Wipe skillet and repeat with any remaining bread.

GRILLED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan or grill on medium heat.
• Make a pocket in each slice of bread and set aside. In a medium bowl, mix together the marshmallow creme and hazelnut spread until smooth, then stir in the chocolate chips. Fill each pocket with some of the spread.
• Whisk together the half-and-half, honey, cinnamon and eggs in a shallow dish. Dip each bread slice in the batter and set aside.
• Lightly spray the grill pan with cooking spray. Grill the French toast until well-marked and crisp, being careful not to burn it, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• Meanwhile, place the strawberries cut-side down on the grill pan and grill until slightly cooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Transfer the French toast to individual plates, drizzle with caramel, shave over chocolate, top with grilled strawberries and serve alongside the warm syrup.

CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• Use a toaster to toast the bread to desired darkness. Spread butter or margarine onto one side of each slice. In a cup or small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle generously over hot buttered toast.

GRILLED CINNAMON TOAST

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar and cinnamon into the softened butter. Spread cinnamon butter over each slice of brioche.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Spray grates with nonstick spray.
• Place each slice of brioche on the grill, buttered-side down. Grill until caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.

CINNAMON TOAST DELUXE

Steps:

• Mix the sugar and cinnamon together well; set aside.
• Butter one side of the bread and sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
• (You will probably have more cinnamon sugar than you need; save remainder for another use.).
• If desired, repeat on the other side of the bread with more butter or margarine and cinnamon sugar.
• Heat a skillet on medium heat.
• Lay the prepared bread slices on the hot skillet and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the bread is nicely carmelized; be careful not to burn the bread.
• If you have only prepared one side of the bread, turn for about 30 seconds or so until just lightly browned; serve.
• If you have prepared both sides of the bread, turn and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until that side is nicely carmelized and serve.
