My Secret Most Special Incredibly Awesome Toast.

Submitted by Elmotoo

"This is more of a method than recipe. But... I am not a big fan of toast. When it comes with my breakfast at the diner, I eat it to not waste the money paid for it. My grandmother's homemade bread toast was, of course, an exception. But she's gone & bread making is not my, um...forte. BUT, I picked up a loaf of really nice artisanal bread at a bakery & had an IDEA.... your bread doesn't need to be round, it just can't be flat. This method produces toast that will make your head swirl. You MUST have a heavy, preferably cast iron, skillet. I recommend the best butter you can afford."

• Yields: 1 loaf

I love this method, I use it usually to grill buns for burgers and sandwiches, never thought to try it for toast. Wow, was this good, I used sweet butter and plain white bread, what a treat. I finished it off with some homemade strawberry preserves, what a perfect brekky it was. Thanks for sharing Elmotoo.

Tasty way to make toast! Used a thick piece of homemade bread and served topped with a poached egg for a great breakfast - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for the Best of 2013 event, recommended by I'mPat

Thank You Elmotoo as I munched my way I had a lovely trip down memory lane as I remembered the many breakfasts that my dad used to make toasting bread though on both sides as it was usually a day or two old and some of my favourite toppings were smoky ham with a fried egg or soft scrambled egg, baked beans with crispy bacon or sardines that had been cooked in tomato sauce but today I topped it with an adult favourtie, ricotta cheese laced with a little vanilla essence and toped with slices of fresh nectarine yummm, thank you once again Elmotoo, made for Aussie/Kiwi Recipe Swap #72 January 2013.
