STEP BY STEP
Make it
Spread
Cover each untoasted slice with a thin, even layer of butter, reaching the edges.
Prepare sprinkles
Pour sprinkles onto a shallow plate.
Coat
Gently press each buttered face into the sprinkles. Redistribute sprinkles between slices.
Cut
Turn sprinkle-side up and cut diagonally into two triangles. Serve while bread is soft.
Good to know
- Round nonpareils give the traditional crunchy texture.
- Make shortly before serving so the bread stays fresh.
