5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1For extra richness, spread a thin layer of unsalted butter on the hot toast before the jam.
- 2Toast the bread to a light golden brown. Over-toasting can make it dry and hard.
- 3Don't have a toaster? You can toast bread on a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side.
- 4Let the toast cool for about 30 seconds before spreading the jam to prevent it from becoming too runny.
- 5Use a good quality, thick-cut bread like brioche or Texas toast for a more substantial and satisfying snack.
