How to make cinnamon toast, just like mom did

By Jess Kapadia

I love a no-cook breakfast that requires only slightly more effort than pouring milk over cereal in a bowl. Cinnamon toast is just that. There's nothing like a hot, tasty and satisfying 5-minute meal. And while it's totally cool that I have to poach five eggs to come out with two passable ones, it really is a lot cooler to slather toast with butter and sugar and Instagram it for an instant 17 or so likes.

If we had to name one truly foolproof recipe in the Food Republic universe, it's cinnamon toast. Provided you can toast bread, of course.

Servings: 2 slices

Ingredients

2 slices cinnamon raisin or regular sandwich bread

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened but not melted

1 tablespoon sugar, plus more for sprinkling

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine butter, sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
Toast both slices of bread, then remove from toaster.
While still hot, spread butter mixture over both slices, sprinkle with a little extra sugar and eat immediately.
