Vanilla Honey Butter Toast

Cut off the edges of the bread and cut each slice into 2 rectangles. Place on a sheet pan with parchment paper and bake at 380°F for 2 minutes and then flip and bake for another 2 minutes. This initial bake will dry them out slightly and produce better results in the end.

In a bowl, mix the butter, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, black pepper and a pinch of salt.

Spread a thin layer of the butter on every side of the brioche, don't forget the end caps.

Bake for 8-11 minutes (check at the 8 minute mark) on the first side, flip over and bake another 6-7 minutes or until deeply golden, be careful not to burn.

Let them sit on a cooling rack for 20 minutes.

In a food processor, whip the ricotta and cream cheese.

Pipe the cheese onto the toasts, drizzle honey,  fleur de sel and rosemary.
