Why This Dish Is So Special
This recipe combines the warm, sweet flavors of cinnamon with the smoky taste from the grill. It’s quick to make and perfect for a cozy breakfast or snack. The crispy edges and soft inside create a delightful texture that everyone will enjoy.
Directions
Blend the brown sugar and cinnamon into the softened butter until it’s well combined. Spread a generous amount of this cinnamon butter over each slice of brioche. Heat up your outdoor grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick spray with nonstick spray to keep the bread from sticking. Place the buttered side of the brioche down on the grill and let it cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until it’s nicely caramelized and golden. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn. Once done, carefully transfer the toasted slices to a serving platter and enjoy!

How To Plate This Dish
Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness. It pairs well with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a cup of coffee or tea. Adding a spread of cream cheese or nut butter can also make it more filling.
Food Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. To refresh, reheat briefly on the grill or in a toaster oven to bring back the crispiness. Avoid refrigerating, as it can dry out the bread.
