Featured Ingredients
- Bread: any kind of bread works for this toast! We’re using a white sandwich bread, but wheat or brioche would work too.
- Cream cheese: cream cheese is the star of the show. We’re using regular old plain cream cheese.
- Cinnamon: ground cinnamon is needed for the epic topping.
- Sugar: a little bit of sugar is going to bring out that yummy cinnamon flavor.
- Butter: butter is used for frying so it doesn’t stick to the pan and helps it get nice and golden brown.
