Well, that ends today. Because this recipe is an absolute. Smash. Hit.
Over at Local Hive HQ, we’re all obsessed with this cinnamon-sweet, honey-powered take on French toast that instantly turns any plain old Monday morning into a brunch party for one.

3. Once the butter has melted, cook 1–2 slices of bread at a time. Cook each side for 3 minutes until golden brown.
4. Once cooked, place each piece of toast on a baking sheet in the oven to keep warm. Serve warm with honey or jam and fresh berries.
