Option A: Stove-Top Pan Toast (Most Authentic)
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Optional: Melt 1 tsp butter in the pan for added flavour and golden colour.
- Place the bread slices in the skillet.
- Toast each side for 2–3 minutes, pressing gently, until the surface is crisp and golden brown but the inside remains soft. You’re aiming for a texture like grilled cheese: crisp edges, soft centre.
Option B: Air Fryer or Oven Toast
- Preheat air fryer or oven to 175°C (350°F).
- Toast bread on a rack or tray for 5–7 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
- Optionally brush with melted butter before toasting.
Add the Glaze
- Once the toast is freshly toasted and still hot, place it on a serving plate.
Immediately spread a generous layer of the milk butter glaze across the top using a butter knife or small offset spatula.
The glaze will begin to melt and soak into the warm toast, creating a glossy, buttery finish with a caramel hint.
Optional: Caramelise the Top
For a café-style presentation:
-
- Use a kitchen torch to lightly caramelise the glaze until bubbling and golden-brown
