Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Melt the butter in a small bowl (microwave for 20–30 seconds), then stir in the honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and glossy.

3. Cut each bread slice into 4 squares (you’ll have 16 pieces total).

4. Brush both sides of each bread square generously with the honey-butter mixture—use a pastry brush or spoon. Sprinkle sesame seeds generously on top of each square, pressing gently so they stick.

5. Arrange bread squares in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp around the edges.

6. Cool for 2 minutes on the tray (they’ll crisp up further), then transfer to a plate.

7. Serve warm — they’re best eaten the same day! 🍯🔥

Why It’s Great:
The honey caramelizes slightly in the oven, creating a crunchy, fragrant crust. The sesame seeds add nutty depth, while cinnamon and salt balance the sweetness. No sugar needed beyond the honey—and you probably have all these items already!

Perfect with tea, yogurt, or even as a fun topping for ice cream.
