Cinnamon Vanilla Sugar Toasties

I absolutely hate throwing out food.  I can hear my great Aunt Maratha’s voice saying “STARVING PEOPLE IN AFRICA” with visions of her cutting mold off of cheese every time I toss food in the trash.

While I’m a pretty good meal planner, sometimes bread goes stale in my abode especially since I don’t buy bread in plastic bags.  Bakery bread has a three day shelf life then it’s toast, literally. Sliced baguettes tend to get lost in the toaster so I make what I like to call toasties in the oven.  

1 small baguette or 1/2 of a  large baguette cut into 12 slices
2 tbs butter
2 tbs vanilla sugar (if you cannot find vanilla sugar you can use plain sugar or even brown sugar)
1 tbs cinnamon

Preheat oven at 400 degrees. 

Slice bread into thin slices around a 1/4 inch.  Spread a thin layer of butter on each slice of bread.  Sprinkle with Vanilla Sugar and Cinnamon.  

Place bread on a non-greased baking sheet.  Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes (or until crispy and lightly brown) .

I love making these toasties for Sunday Brunch.
