How to make it

  1. Set a toaster or a dry skillet over medium heat while you gather the toppings.
  2. Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes, working in batches if needed.
  3. Spread the warm toast generously with butter so it melts into the surface.
  4. Stir the ground cinnamon together with the sugar in a small bowl, then dust it over half of the buttered slices for cinnamon toast.
  5. Spread the remaining slices with honey or jam according to preference.
  6. Cut each slice in half and serve immediately while still warm and crisp.

You'll use: Frying pan / skillet

Tips & common questions

How long does Toast take to make?

About 50 minutes from start to finish — an estimate based on the 6 steps and 6 ingredients. Times vary with your kitchen and how much prep you do ahead.

What can I use instead of butter?

Try olive oil (¾ the amount). See the substitutions section above for more swaps.

Can I scale this recipe up or down?

Yes — use the servings control above the ingredients and every quantity rescales automatically (fractions included). Cooking times stay roughly the same; very large batches may need a little longer.

Is Toast vegetarian?

Its ingredients contain no meat, fish or shellfish, so it is suitable for vegetarians. Check any cheese for animal rennet if that matters to you.
