    I like my toast cold, a little hard and a bit burnt with a good spread of butter.
    I don't put any weird toppings on it though..
    Got me thinking-how do you like your toast? Hot, cold, butter on thick/thin?
    Share! ;)

    barely done, lots of real butter and strawberry jam.

    Thick, lightly browned, warm, lots of Kerrygold or Bandon Coop butter with soft boiled eggs, or any type of orange marmalade, and lots of strong tea nom nom nom.

    I like it several ways. Sometimes you just can't wait and I'll have it with barely a hint of colour and a lashing of butter. Other times darker, near black can be gorgeous.
    Sunday breakfast isn't complete without cold toast and butter though.

    I love toast.

    I have toast with Dairygold because my stomach can't handle real butter (wish it could cos real butter tastes so good).

    Sometimes I have it light and sometimes dark, sometimes just buttered and other times buttered with jam or smarmalade.

    I love beans on toast and boiled eggs with toast.

    The odd time I'll have toast with a nice slice of ham with a little English mustard.

    Yep, toast, love the stuff.

    Two slices of bread , tin baked beans.
    Lightly toast bread meanwhile heat beans in microwave
    Butter toast , put one slice on plate and pour half the beans on top.
    Put second slice on top and pour rest of beans over it.
    Put all back in microwave for min till all is hot and toast is soggy.
    Yummmmmy.:)

    Extremely lightly done regardless of the topping, if I am using butter it has to go back in the toaster for melting and reheating. Usually I just put ham in between two slices or strawberry jam. Nomnomnom.

    I like it medium, don't mind warm or cold, with a slab of real butter.
    With a cup of milky coffee.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,383 ✭✭✭emeraldstar


    Wholegrain bread, toasted to a medium brown, hot, lots of melted real butter, and a cup of tea on the side.

    White bread, medium toasted, real butter.
    With soft-boiled eggs or strawberry jam or marmite.

    BATCH HEEL!

    There used to be a fight over it in our place when I was a kid. Toasted, with butter and raspberry jam. It's the Irish equivalent to a breakfast pastry. Pure heaven!!

    Ideally, cold, lightly toasted, with low-salt butter like Lurpak, and a very light spread of Rose's Lime Marmalade.

    fresh batch bread, lightly toasted with real butter spread on it

    My dad has his toast done on only one side, which is fairly weird.

    I love batch bread toasted on one side, let it go cold and then butter with dairygold, it's so nice!!!

    Lightly browned with salty Britany butter and slices of saucissons d'ardeche is heaven


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,138 ✭✭✭orchidsrpretty


    Either lightly toasted with a little butter and strawberry jam or cold and chewy with lots of real butter.

    I shouldn't have read this before lunch.

    I like so many different types of toast, its hard to choose.

    Best bread for toast, in order

    1) Home-made white bread
    2) Batch loaf (especially the heel)
    3) Granary sliced pan (especially the heel)
    4) Wholemeal bread
    5) White bought sliced pan

    I dont feel a need to butter it immediately, a few minutes later is best,

    Sometimes just butter, sometimes maramalade.
    With wholemeal toast, it has to be jam.

    Batch is nice, its so dense it can soak up loads of butter. The grill gives a nice even browning, I hate toast from cheapo toasters where it is burnt in places and white in others. A trick I had was popping it halfway through and turning it 90 degrees so its more even.

    Must be evenly buttered, I hate pools of melted butter in the middle and bone dry around the crust.

    Rule 1: Piping hot
    Rule 2: Never shall butter and jam appear together on the same slice
    Rule 3: Devour as quickly as possible


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,667 ✭✭✭Worztron


    Flora + Marmalade\Strawberry\Raspberry Jam. Not toasted too brown. I don't mind eating cold toast but prefer hot.

    I'll take it anyway going but I have one demand, please, please, please butter the toast as soon as it comes off the heat.

    Her good self has an awful habit of leaving the toast unbuttered as it goes cold and then you're left with small bits of unmelted butter. The struggle is real.
