I've been having only that for breakfast every morning this week. It's actually such a luxury - remember how George Washington's weird mother wrote him a letter when he was on the battlefield in Pennsylvania, not giving a f**k about his safety but requesting that he send her butter? And white bread was once a luxury too. And getting a slice of bread evenly sliced, and then toasted to the exact burn that you want, is also a modern miracle.

So according to my distant ancestors, having buttered toast for breakfast is basically a sign that their lineage won at life or something.

Sorry but I actually feel very passionate about my morning toast. I like that it's chilly outside but my slices of bread are being warmed up. I like how the butter starts to melt on warm toast. I love the texture and flavor combination when you eat it. I enjoy it so much that I don't even want coffee with it anymore. It's SO GOOD.

I literally made SIX SLICES OF TOAST this morning just for myself, and I don't know what's gotten into me?

Does anyone else get like this sometimes?

Cit the Nary Washington story please.

Even I know about that story...but I guess if you want to ruin our happy buttered toast thread with a churlish response, the least you could do is spell properly. It's Mary, not Nary. Cite, not Cit. You want someone to "do better", maybe you can start with basic spelling?

I just load up each slice of toast till you can basically just take an educated guess that there is some toast beneath the butter.

Getting used to its flavor, which I never really took the time to do before. We just take butter for granted, even extremely good butter. But its sooo satisfying and nourishing and explodes on the tongue when you eat slowly. Which, thanks to a lifetime of anxiety, I guess I never really did before?

NP There is no shame in loading the butter on. I especially love Wegmans butter boy butter for this, as I get to crunch on the crystals of salt floating in the unctuous, creamy butter. It’s just perfect.

OP I do not have a toaster because I would live off buttered toast exclusively. Yes, I *could* toast bread in the oven but I won’t. It’s the only thing that separates me from the barbarians.

Since I have no self control, toast is a luxury I save for room service.

Where do you get your sourdough? And is it sour?

I like hot butter on breakfast toast.

this is me, like we're kindred souls or something.

Don't ever put me near a loaf of bread, a toaster, and some good kerrygold butter. Don't do that. Not safe.

I agree — but not white bread. Bakery fresh sourdough, wheat or rye or dense walnut raisin. Buttered white toast is meh, especially if it’s just crummy sugary grocery store bread. It’s all air and disintegrates.

I like pan toasted bread. My toaster just doesn't toast it the same way.

Yes to Kerrygold, sour dough, plus a sprinkle of sea salt.

Agreed, except that I'm a spoiled French person and need my cultured butter (made with fermented cream, not fresh) instead of the bland non-cultured version.

But you can do better, OP.

Boil an egg until the white is coagulated but the yolk is still runny. Place on a cute eggcup on a plate. Pop open the top. Cut the hot buttered toast into fingers and arrange on plate. Dip fingers into the yolk and savor. Eat white last, with perhaps a little sprinkling of celery salt.

Heaven.

I can never get the perfect consistency. I've moved on to poached eggs on top of my perfectly buttered toast.

Yes I’ve always loved buttered toast. I’m currently staying away from it because I’m trying to lose weight/reduce cholesterol. But I do miss it!!!
