Ingredients

2 sandwich bread · white, whole wheat, or sourdough
1 tbsp unsalted butter · softened to room temperature
2 tbsp jam or preserves · strawberry, raspberry, or your favorite flavor

Directions

1
Toast the bread
Place the bread slices in the toaster and toast to your preferred level of golden brown, typically medium setting.
2
Butter while hot
As soon as the toast pops up, immediately spread softened butter evenly across the surface so it melts into the bread.
3
Spread the jam
Spoon jam onto each slice and spread it generously and evenly to the edges with a butter knife.
4
Serve immediately
Eat straight away while the toast is still warm and the jam is slightly gooey.
