Bread and Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Start by selecting your favorite type of bread. Whole grain, sourdough, or white bread works well. Cut the bread into slices if not pre-sliced.

  2. 2

    Butter the Bread

    Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. Make sure to cover the entire surface for even toasting.

  3. 3

    Season the Bread

    Sprinkle a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder over the buttered side of the bread. If using fresh herbs, chop them finely and sprinkle over the bread.

  4. 4

    Toast the Bread

    Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Place the bread slices buttered side down in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Flip and Toast the Other Side

    Carefully flip the bread slices and toast the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the toast from the skillet and serve immediately. Enjoy plain or with additional toppings like avocado, jam, or cheese.
