Toast the bread
- a.Place the bread slices in a toaster, under a broiler, or on a hot pan. Toast for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway if using a pan or broiler, until golden brown and crisp to your liking.
- 2
Butter the toast
- a.As soon as the toast is ready, transfer it to a plate. Immediately spread about 1/2 tablespoon of room temperature butter evenly over each slice. The heat from the toast will melt it perfectly.

PRO TIPS
What to keep in mind.
4 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For the best result, use butter that is at room temperature. It will spread easily without tearing the bread.
- 2Butter the toast while it's still hot. This allows the butter to melt into all the nooks and crannies.
- 3If you don't have a toaster, you can toast bread on a dry non-stick skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side.
- 4Avoid stacking buttered toast, as the steam will make the bottom slice soggy.
