🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 slices white or brioche bread (60g total)
✓ 1 tsp coconut oil, melted
✓ Cooking spray (oil mister)
✓ 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
✓ 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
✓ 60g reduced-fat mature cheddar cheese, finely grated
✓ 1/3 cup evaporated skim milk
✓ 1 tbsp honey
✓ 1/4 tsp ground cardamom (optional, traditional touch)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat & Position: Preheat your oven to broil setting (high). Position the oven rack about 6 inches below the broiler element. Line a small baking tray with aluminum foil.

2. Prepare the Bread: Place bread slices on the prepared tray. Lightly spray both sides with cooking spray or brush with melted coconut oil. This ensures even toasting and prevents sticking.

3. Toast the Base: Broil for 2–3 minutes until golden and slightly crispy. Watch carefully—the edges should brown but the center stay soft enough to absorb the topping.

4. Make the Cheese Mixture: While bread toasts, whisk together evaporated skim milk and honey in a small bowl. Stir until honey dissolves completely. The mixture should be smooth and pourable.

5. Layer & Top: Remove toast from oven. Quickly sprinkle half the grated cheese on each slice, dividing evenly. Drizzle the milk-honey mixture over the cheese, letting it pool slightly at the edges.

6. Add Aromatics: Sprinkle cinnamon and cardamom (if using) over the wet topping. A pinch of sea salt enhances the sweet-savory balance and brings out caramel notes.

7. Broil & Caramelize: Return to broiler for 3–4 minutes. Watch closely—you want bubbling, charred edges and golden-brown spots on the cheese. This is where the 'burnt' magic happens; a few dark patches are perfect.

8. Cool Slightly & Serve: Let rest on the tray for 1 minute (it will firm up slightly as the cheese sets). Transfer to a plate and serve warm. The cheese should be melted and caramelized, the milk absorbed into the bread.
