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
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Step 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.
Step 3
Preheat broiler.
Step 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.
Step 5
Serve plums on cinnamon toasts, drizzled with remaining syrup.
