How to Make Fried Toast (Recipe)
Fried toast is toast leveled up to extreme deliciousness. Pan-fried with extra virgin olive oil, the process creates the perfect slice of bread for open-faced sandwiches. This recipe is for one toast, but can easily been scaled up.
Servings 1
Ingredients
- 1 slice hearty bread such as bakery sourdough , whole wheat, or multigrain
- Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Heat a skillet large enough to accommodate the slice of bread (so that it lies flat) over medium heat. When water sprinkled on the pan sizzles, it's ready to use.
- Drizzle zigzags of the extra virgin olive oil across one side of the bread. You don't need to saturate the slice with oil; it will disburse throughout the crumb as the bread cooks.
- Place the bread slice oil side down on the hot pan. Let the bread toast for several minutes until golden brown on the underside.
- Drizzle zigzags of oil on the upside of the bread (the second side) and flip the slice so that the newly oiled side is down. Let toast for several minutes until golden.
- Remove the bread to a plate to cool (or continue with whatever recipe you're using that calls for fried toast).
- Top with your favorite sandwich fillings and serve.
