Method
Bread
Select bread
Choose either 2 slices of noble country white bread. (The menu mentions multigrain as an alternate; if you prefer multigrain, substitute 2 slices of multigrain instead.)
Toast bread
Place the 2 slices in a toaster or under a broiler. Toast until golden brown and crisp at the edges, about 2–4 minutes depending on your appliance. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Spread
Butter
Immediately after toasting, place the slices on a plate. Spread about 1 tablespoon softened unsalted butter evenly over the warm toast so it melts into the surface.
Jam
Using a clean knife or spoon, divide 2 tablespoons of your chosen jam between the two slices and spread evenly over the buttered surface. Adjust amount to taste.
Optional toppings
If using fresh fruit, slice bananas or strawberries and arrange about 1/2 cup total on top of the jam. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon chopped toasted nuts if desired, and finish with a light pinch of sea salt flakes to enhance flavor.
Serve
Cut the toast in half if desired and serve immediately while still warm. Enjoy with coffee or tea.
