Tips

  • Don't let the butter burn, turn the heat down once butter is added.
  • Flip the bread several times in the pan.
  • If you see dry bread after flipping, flip it back to soak in more butter and syrup.
  • Use tongs instead of a fork to flip the bread.
  • Keep flipping the bread to avoid burning.
  • The toast can burn quickly once it gets golden brown, so start taking them out of the pan.
  • The appetizer is delicious warm or two hours later at room temperature.
  • You can use smaller slices of Brie if you prefer to taste more of the toast.
