Korean toasts with sesame paste and honey Recipe
Crispy toasts with thick sesame paste and honey are a simple Korean breakfast dessert that’s a bit like a cross between halva and French toast. In Korea, sesame and honey often appear in traditional sweets, and here they land on a slice of bread. It’s a great idea for a lazy weekend morning or a sweet snack with tea.

Ingredients
- toast bread - 4 slice
- sesame seeds - 40 g
- honey - 35 g
- butter - 20 g
- milk - 20 ml
- salt - 1 pinch
- sugar - 5 g
Main Ingredient:
sesame
Preparation
- Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring often, until the seeds turn lightly golden and become very fragrant. Be careful not to burn them, or they will turn bitter.
- Transfer the hot sesame seeds to a small bowl and immediately add the soft butter, honey, sugar, a pinch of salt, and the milk. Stir with a spoon until the butter melts and everything comes together into a thick, slightly pourable paste. If you’re using tahini, you can skip toasting the sesame seeds and reduce the amount of milk.
- If you want a smoother texture, briefly blend the paste with an immersion blender or in a small food processor. If you prefer noticeable sesame seeds, leave it as is.
- Place the slices of toast bread in a dry pan or on a baking tray in an oven preheated to 190°C. Toast for 3–4 minutes, until lightly golden and crisp on one side.
- Flip the slices and spoon a thick layer of the sesame–honey paste onto the already toasted side, spreading it evenly right to the edges.
- Toast the bread for another 3–4 minutes in the pan with a lid on, or in the oven, until the paste foams slightly and starts to bubble gently, and the edges of the bread are very crisp.
- Remove the toasts and let them sit for 1–2 minutes so the paste can firm up a little and cool down. Cut each slice diagonally and serve while still warm.

Pastę sezamową możesz przechowywać w lodówce w małym słoiczku do 5 dni. Gotowe grzanki najlepiej smakują od razu; jeśli zostaną, przechowuj je w temperaturze pokojowej pod przykryciem i podgrzej krótko w piekarniku lub na suchej patelni.
