Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it is fully heated before baking begins to ensure an even and consistent cooking environment.
  • In a small bowl, mix together 1/3 cup of coconut sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar mixture. Set aside to be used later as the primary flavoring element.
  • Take 4 slices of good-quality, thick-cut white bread and trim off the crusts to create uniform squares. This will enhance the presentation and allow for consistent toasting.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1/4 cup of whole milk, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of fine sea salt, creating a custard mixture to imbue the bread with rich flavor and a custardy texture when baked.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons of ghee in a saucepan over low heat or in a microwave, making sure it's just melted and not browned, to retain the butter's sweetness.
  • Brush both sides of each bread slice with the melted butter, ensuring each piece is evenly coated to encourage proper browning and enhance flavor.
  • Submerge each slice of buttered bread into the custard mixture briefly, allowing the liquid to soak into the bread without making it overly soggy.
  • Place the soaked slices on a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to allow excess custard to drip off and ensure even toasting.
  • Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the tops of the custard-soaked bread, covering the surface completely to achieve a crisp and caramelized finish.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cinnamon sugar crust is caramelized and the bread is toasted through.
  • While the toast is baking, prepare a simple cream cheese glaze by mixing together 4 tablespoons of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and 1-2 tablespoons of milk to reach a smooth and pourable consistency.
  • Once the bread is toasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes to enable the sugar crust to set and become crisp.
  • Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the warm toast in a zigzag pattern, covering each piece artfully for a balance of sweetness and visual appeal.
