Ingredients

• 1 slice Thick slice of bread (preferably brioche or Texas toast)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 scoop Vanilla ice cream
• 2 tablespoons Chopped mixed nuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup Fresh fruit (such as strawberries or banana slices)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Take the thick slice of bread and, using a sharp knife, cut a square into the middle without cutting all the way through. Then, make smaller cube cuts within the square to create a checkerboard pattern. Do not cut through to the bottom crust.

Step 3

Gently pull the inner bread pieces slightly apart to separate them, but keep them attached to the base.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Brush the butter over the top and sides of the bread, making sure to get the butter into the cuts.

Step 5

Place the buttered bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

While the bread is baking, prepare your toppings. If using fresh fruit, wash and slice them as desired.

Step 7

Remove the toasted bread from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 8

Drizzle the honey generously over the toasted bread, making sure it seeps into the cuts.

Step 9

Top the honey toast with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center.

Step 10

Sprinkle chopped mixed nuts over the top for added crunch, if using.

Step 11

Add the fresh fruit around the ice cream or on the sides of the toast.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious honey toast!
