The Ultimate Cinnamon Toast, the Pioneer Woman Way

I used to make buttered toast and sprinkle on cinnamon sugar. Who knew that making a butter compound with cinnamon, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg-- then broiling it until bubbly would make such a heavenly version of cinnamon toast?!

Ingredients

8 slices bread whole wheat is great!
1 stick salted butter softened
1/2 cup sugar (more to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract more to taste
1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉
Smush softened butter with a fork. Dump in sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg, if using. Stir to completely combine.
Spread on slices of bread, completely covering the surface all the way to the edges.
Place toast on a cookie sheet. Place cookies sheet into the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Turn on the broiler and broil until golden brown and bubbling. Watch so it won’t burn!
Remove from oven and cut slices into halves diagonally.

Notes

UPDATE: I have found that using my toaster oven is a faster/easier way, when making this for two people. I toast the bread, until just before it's golden brown. I then slather on the cinnamon-butter and turn the toaster oven to "broil". Watch is, carefully, and remove just as the topping begins to bubble. This way, I don't have "soggy bread syndrome" on the bottom. Works great!
