Description

This Viral Honey Butter Toast is a crispy, buttery, and sweet dessert inspired by a popular Asian café treat. Thick slices of bread are toasted to golden perfection and drizzled with a rich honey butter glaze, then topped with ice cream for a decadent finish.

Ingredients

Scale

2 thick slices of brioche or milk bread

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) or use an air fryer/toaster oven.
In a small bowl, mix softened butter, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Score the tops of the bread slices in a criss-cross pattern (about 3/4 of the way through, not all the way).
Spread the honey butter mixture generously over the tops and sides of the bread slices.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden and crispy on the outside and soft inside.
Remove from oven and drizzle with extra honey. Top with ice cream or other desired toppings and serve immediately.

Notes

Use very thick bread (1.5–2 inches) for the best texture and visual appeal.
Make it extra crispy by toasting the undersides with a bit of butter before baking.
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or crushed nuts for texture and spice.
Best served immediately while warm and crispy.
