How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Toasted Sandwich

Step 1: Mix the Cinnamon Sugar

In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Set aside for sprinkling.

Step 2: Prepare the Bread

Lightly butter one side of each bread slice.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly over the buttered sides.
Flip two slices and spread your optional filling on the unbuttered side (e.g., cream cheese or banana slices).
Top with the remaining slices to form sandwiches, with the cinnamon-sugar sides facing out.

Step 3: Toast the Sandwich

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and toast for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from heat and let cool for 1 minute before slicing.
