Ingredients:
6 (1/2-inch-thick) slices from a challah or large brioche loaf |
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
6 firm-ripe medium red or black plums (1 1/2 lb), halved lengthwise and pitted |
3/4 cup pure maple syrup, warmed |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Brush 1 side of each bread slice with butter and arrange slices, buttered sides up, on a baking sheet. Stir together sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over bread. Toast bread in middle of oven until crisp and golden brown on top, about 7 minutes. Halve toasts diagonally.
3. Preheat broiler.
4. Dip cut side of each plum half in maple syrup, then put plums, cut sides up, on a buttered broiler pan. Broil plums 4 to 5 inches from heat until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Heat remaining syrup over moderate heat until hot.
5. Serve plums on cinnamon toasts, drizzled with remaining syrup.
