This honey butter toast is a viral dessert for a reason! Thick, golden toast is slathered with a rich honey-butter mixture, then baked until perfectly crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. Topped with ice cream, whipped cream, or fruit, it’s pure dessert magic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices thick-cut bread (brioche, milk bread, or Texas toast work best)

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

  • 1½ tablespoons honey

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

  • Pinch of salt

  • Optional toppings: vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, berries, more honey, cinnamon sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, honey, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt until smooth.

  • Score the top of each bread slice in a criss-cross pattern, cutting about halfway through (don’t slice all the way).

  • Spread the honey butter mixture generously over the top and into the cuts.

  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the toast is golden and edges are crisp.

  • Optional: Broil for 1–2 minutes for an extra golden top — watch closely!

  • Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of extra honey, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread for the crispiest texture.

  • You can double the butter-honey mix if making more slices.

  • Try adding cinnamon, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar for fun variations.
