Toast
Method
Toast
Prepare butter
If your butter is refrigerated and firm, cut 2 tablespoons and let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes so it becomes easily spreadable. If you need butter immediately, place butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat on medium (50% power) for 5–8 seconds, checking to avoid melting.
Toast bread
Place the 2 bread slices in a toaster and toast to your desired doneness: 2–3 minutes for light golden, 3–4 minutes for medium, and 4–5+ minutes for well-browned/crispy, depending on your toaster. Alternatively, toast in a preheated skillet over medium heat: add bread slices and cook 1.5–2 minutes per side until golden-brown.
Butter and finish
As soon as the toast comes out of the toaster (while still hot), spread 1 tablespoon of softened butter evenly over each slice so it melts into the bread. Sprinkle a pinch of salt evenly across both slices to taste. If using jam, honey, or marmalade, spread about 1 teaspoon on each slice on top of or instead of the butter.
Serve immediately while warm. Store any leftover butter at refrigeration temperature; leftover prepared toast is best eaten within 15 minutes for optimal texture.
