Toast

Usually toast refers to sliced bread that has been exposed to heat on both sides until the surfaces are browned. Use any kind of bread from simple white or wheat to special breads like cinnamon raisin or egg bread.

While the toast is hot slather it with butter. Dip it in your soft boiled egg. Jam and peanut butter are good toppings, too. Make a mixture of 1 part ground cinnamon to 3 parts sugar which will keep indefinitely in a covered container and sprinkle it on buttered toast.

Toaster technology goes back to the early 1900s, probably one of the first electric appliances dedicated to producing a specific result. I guess that tells you how important it is.

If you don’t have a toaster you can still make toast.

Instructions:

▪ Place the bread slices in a frying pan on medium to high heat and brown one side, turn, and then brown the other. A cast iron pan works well for this.

▪ Put the bread slices directly on the rack under the broiler and broil one side, then turn and broil the other. This requires careful watching to make sure they don’t burn.

▪ Impale a piece of bread on a long stick, or a long fork if you have one, and hold it over an open fire.

▪ Don’t forget about other breads you can toast such as English muffins and bagels.
