Honey Butter Toast

Ingredients

• 1 loaf challah bread
• 8 tablespoons softened butter
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 4 tablespoons light brown sugar
• Splash of vanilla extract

To serve

• Vanilla ice cream
• Salted caramel or more honey

Directions

• Cut the challah into thick slices (about 6 from one loaf), then trim off the excess crust (save it for French toast or bread pudding).
• Mix the butter, brown sugar, honey, and vanilla into a smooth compound, then slather it on all sides of the sliced challah.
• Arrange the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 360F for 8 to 10 minutes. Flip and bake another 8 to 10 minutes, until deep golden brown but not burnt.
• Place the slices on a cooling rack for about 15 minutes; the coating hardens as it sits. Serve with ice cream and warm salted caramel or an extra drizzle of honey.
