Ingredients- 2 slices of bread (your favorite kind works well)
- 3 Tbsp butter (unsalted or salted)
- 3 Tbsp brown sugar (adds a richer flavor than white sugar)
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon (feel free to add more if you love cinnamon)
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese (the savory cheese is a perfect match for the sweet topping!)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the sweet ‘dalgona’ topping. In a bowl, combine 3 Tbsp of softened butter, 3 Tbsp of sweet brown sugar, and 1 Tbsp of fragrant ground cinnamon.
Step 2
Using a spatula or spoon, mix these ingredients thoroughly until they form a smooth, jam-like consistency. Ensure there are no lumps and the mixture is evenly combined. It should be spreadable but not too runny.
Step 3
Now, let’s assemble the toast. Take one slice of bread and carefully place 2 slices of cheddar cheese evenly across its surface. This will create a gooey, cheesy layer inside.
Step 4
Place the second slice of bread on top of the cheese to form a sandwich. Then, generously spread the prepared dalgona butter-sugar mixture evenly over the top of this sandwich. Make sure to cover the entire surface, including the edges, for an even golden crust.
Step 5
Time to toast! Place the assembled toast into a non-stick pan over medium-low heat, with the dalgona-coated side facing down. Once the pan is warm, lightly butter the top side of the bread (which is now facing up). This ensures both sides get beautifully golden.
Step 6
Continue to cook over medium-low heat, turning the toast occasionally. Keep a close eye on it to prevent the cheese from burning. Grill until the top is a beautiful golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and gooey. Once cooked, slice into desired portions and enjoy immediately while warm! It pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or milk.
