Toaster toast and toppings
How to properly toast bread in a toaster, while monitoring the color, and then top it with butter, honey, jam, peanut butter, avocado, or scrambled eggs.
In the past, bread was grilled on a rack over the embers. With a toaster, it’s simply a matter of setting the desired level of browning and keeping an eye on it: here’s the method and some topping ideas.

Directions
- Make sure the toaster is plugged in, clean, and in good working order.
- Slide a slice into each slot (or place them on the rack of a grill).
- Adjust the toasting level if your toaster has this feature, then turn it on.
- Watch the color. If the bread becomes too dark, use the lever to adjust it. If it gets stuck, disconnect the appliance before removing it, never with a metal object. ≈ 3 min
- Spread the chosen filling evenly using a knife or spoon. ≈ 3 min
