The joys of buttered toast

[Anonymous]

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.

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!!!

A tiny, almost homeopathic smear of Marmite FTW.

NP. Simmer on medium for 6 minutes

Agreed. For me, whole wheat toast buttered with real butter just hits different.

I used to only buy real butter in November and December for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now, I'm like f-it, life is too short for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter or Country Crock. I'm all about that Kerrygold butter now.

I love buttered toast.

Also good: plain or salt bagel, toasted, with butter. Nothing else. This is how I test out a new bagel place because it's the only way to find out the bagel quality for real. Also, it's so delicious.

I love an absurdly thick layer of cream cheese on my sourdough toast.

Omg, I want toast now.

wait till tomorrow morning, it's more satisfying. Chilly morning air, the whirring sound of the coffee machine, and hot toast popping out of the toaster. IT'S PERFECT.

You had me until you mentioned the toaster. I love the toaster oven for even toasting. I will never go back to toasters.

I also like heavily buttered toast with a slice of gouda on top.

It’s been years and years since I had buttered toast and hot chocolate together. Your post brought back the sensory memory. Yum.
