toast

Toast is sliced bread that has been browned by exposure to radiant heat. This browning is the result of a Maillard reaction altering the flavor of the bread and making it firmer so that it is easier to spread toppings on it. Toasting is a common method of making stale bread more palatable. Bread is often toasted using a toaster, but toaster ovens are also used.
Toast is commonly eaten with butter or margarine and sweetened toppings, such as jam or jelly. Regionally, savoury spreads, such as peanut butter or yeast extracts, may also be popular. When buttered, toast may also be served as an accompaniment to savoury dishes, especially soups or stews, or topped with heartier ingredients like eggs or baked beans as a light meal. Toast is a common breakfast food. While slices of bread are most common, bagels and English muffins are also toasted. Scientific studies in the early 2000s found that toast may contain carcinogens caused by the browning process.

    Perfect mushrooms on toast

    We used to pick shrooms as kids from paddocks near us. I've always loved them on toast. I cook them in butter to coat then the secret found by accident, turn heat off and come back in 10 mins. This lets them shrink and settle. Then I get toast ready and reheat. Put a splash cream in and cook for...

    Toasted sandwiches/Jaffles

    Do you make toasted sandwiches or 'toasties' (known as jaffles in AUS)? I was reminded the subject by a post from @Frizz1974 here. Perhaps you have a toasted sandwich maker? They used to be a very popular gadget in most households here I seem to remember and I have one tucked away somewhere...

    Do you use your toaster oven to toast bread?

    I tried it several times & ended up buying a toaster. I found it practically impossible to do! While a toaster oven is good for doing most things, & can be used as a 2nd oven, plus it saves you from having to heat up your regular size oven, toasting bread is not one of my favorite things to do...

    Right, I’m not good at precise recipes. You’ll have to accept my style is a bit more discursive. I hesitate to call this Marcus Wareing’s recipe because I don’t want to do an injustice to the man. I don’t know if you know this, but he’s a little bit good at this sort of thing. The best I can say...

    Recipe Cheese on egg on ham on toast

    A really basic recipe! The trick here is to fry the egg until the yolk is just done, so that when its grilled (broiled in US) the yolk stays runny under the melted cheese. When you cut into it, the yolk should burst delightfully and ooze onto the plate. I really should have photographed that...
