A warm cup of tea or coffee makes this dish feel even cozier on a cold day.

Servings: 2

Ingredients

• 4 slices thick white bread
• 2 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar

3-Ingredient Milk Toast: Directions

1. Put the bread slices into your toaster. Toast them until they turn light golden brown on the outside but still feel a little soft in the middle.
2. While the bread is toasting, pour the milk and sugar into a small saucepan. Warm it over medium-low heat on the stove, stirring often, until the sugar melts completely and the milk feels hot but does not boil.
3. Take the toasted bread and tear or cut it into big chunks. Spread the pieces out onto shallow plates or place them into wide bowls.
4. Slowly pour the warm, sweet milk over the toast pieces. Let it sit for about 1 to 2 minutes so the bread gets soft and soaks up the milk. Serve while it’s still warm.
