Toast will be tastier and 'perfectly toasted' when one ingredient is added

If you're looking for ways to make your morning toast taste better while getting it to the perfect level of 'toast', adding one simple ingredient might do the trick for you. Popular YouTuber , shared a tip after a wave of comments asked for his secret to the featured in his vegan tuna salad .

In response, he made a follow-up video explaining exactly how to replicate that golden restaurant-quality toast at home. The trick is just a bit of melted butter.

In his video, he said: "We're just gonna melt some butter on a pan and then coat your bread in it the best you can".

Then, all you've got to do is apply a bit of weight. Use a panini press, grill weight, or anything with a bit of heft to press the buttered bread in the hot pan for around 10 to 20 seconds.

After releasing the pressure, let the bread continue to toast until it reaches your desired level of golden brown.

The result is toast that's crispy on the outside, tender in the middle, and rich with buttery flavour, all achieved without a toaster.

The light press not only helps the bread make even contact with the hot pan but also creates that signature deep browning that store-bought toast often lacks.

While butter has always had a reputation for enhancing flavour, this method also emphasises texture and technique.

It's an easy upgrade for everything from avocado toast to breakfast sandwiches and works just as well with dairy-free butter alternatives for vegan eaters.

It's a fast, fuss-free way to elevate the most basic pantry staple, and judging by the buzz online, it's one toast tip people are eager to try. So before you reach for the toaster again, grab some butter and a pan instead, your breakfast deserves it.
