Cooking Time: Total estimated time: 10 minutes
Instructions:
Step 1: Toast the Bread
Preheat your toaster or oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the slices of bread on the medium setting and toast until golden brown. If using an oven, place bread directly on the middle rack, checking after 5-7 minutes to achieve desired crispness.
Step 2: Prepare the Spread
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Speculoos Spread with ground cinnamon using a butter knife. Stir gently to incorporate the spice evenly throughout the spread, adding a hint of warmth to its flavor profile.
Step 3: Assemble the Toasts
Once the bread is toasted to perfection, generously spread the Speculoos mixture onto each slice using a butter knife. Ensure an even coating that reaches all corners of the bread.
Step 4: Add Your Toppings
For texture and extra flavor, sprinkle the chopped nuts or your chosen granola over the spread. Lightly press down with the back of your knife to ensure the toppings adhere to the Speculoos layer.
Step 5: Final Touches
Optionally, drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup over the top to add a sweet finish. Serve the toasts immediately for the best combination of warm, crispy bread and creamy spread.
