Cinnamon Toast Worth Living For
This cinnamon toast really goes beyond the stuff my kids usually eat for snack time. Instead of making a piece of toast, buttering it, and sprinkling on cinnamon and sugar, this version is made on the stove where the cinnamon, sugar, and butter are grilled and turn into candy.
Topped with mascarpone cheese and some sort of fruit, this toast makes the most amazing snack for kids or adults. I actually love it for breakfast.
Cinnamon Toast Worth Living For
4 pieces of good quality bread
1 tablespoon butter at room temperature
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
2 peaches, sliced
1. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Mix together cinnamon and sugar, and sprinkle on top of the butter. Place the bread, cinnamon and sugar side down, in a nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Watch carefully to ensure the sugar doesn’t burn. Remove from pan when the cinnamon and sugar caramelizes. Allow to cool slightly on a cooling rack.
2. Spread each cinnamon toast with 2 tablespoons of mascarpone cheese. Garnish with sliced peaches.

Foy Update - Cook. Garden. Write. Repeat. commented on Sep 10 10 at 2:03 pmSign me up! I have seen a lot of cinnamon toast rifs recently. They all look delcious and I love the addition of fruit!
Tin commented on Sep 12 10 at 1:14 amWhat other cheese can you substitute if you don’t have mascarpone?
Jaime commented on Sep 12 10 at 9:52 pmHi, Tin, you could substitute cream cheese. Mascarpone doesn’t have the same tang, but either would be good.
Victoria commented on Sep 20 10 at 9:34 pmThis morning, I was trying to figure out a way to make cinnamon toast without turning on my oven broiler, since it’s really hot here in Atlanta. I wondered if I could grill it; thanks for telling me how. But one question…how do you tell when it’s caramelized if it’s face-down?
Jaime (sophistimom) commented on Sep 20 10 at 11:21 pmGreat question, Victoria. I usually will check it several times by just lifting it up. I’ll even add more cinnamon and sugar if I feel like it, too, so that it gets really thick and crunchy.
