This is so easy, you barely need a recipe! Honey Butter Toast is best with your favorite type of bread, salted butter, and local honey. Here's how I make it ^_^

What's for breakfast? Toast!

It's fast, it's tasty, everyone loves it.

We have great bakeries in Honolulu and we always have a fresh loaf of bread in the kitchen. Sometimes it's a soft and fluffy white loaf from Okayama Kobo or Brug. Sometimes it's a hearty loaf from Breadshop. And many times it's the beautiful buttertop bread from Epi Ya.

You can use any type of bread for this recipe, so use what you have/like.

Salted butter to make honey butter toast.

About The Butter

Use any brand of butter, but make sure it is salted butter (not unsalted butter). We had Kerrygold butter at home so that's what I used for this recipe.

Sometimes I used local butter, sometimes fancy French butter, and sometimes I use whichever butter is on sale at the market. Just make sure it is salted butter.

You want the butter at room temperature so that is spreads nice and easy on the warm toast. Remove the butter from the fridge about 15 minutes before you plan to make the toast.

Ingredients

Here's what you'll need:

Sliced bread - Any kind of bread! For the photos in this post I used "Old-World Rye" bread from Breadshop in Kaimuki, and the "Golden Bread" from Brug Bakery.
Salted butter - At room temperature so that it's spreadable.
Honey - Use local honey if you can! Otherwise any honey works. I usually use Manoa Honey (their mini honey bears are in the photo above), or honey from Big Island Bees (the big jars at Costco Hawaii are a great deal, you can see it in the photo below).

Instructions

Let's make toast!

Toast the bread to your liking. I like it very toasted. My son likes it only a little bit toasted.

Spread the salted butter onto the bread. I use about a tablespoon of butter for each slice of bread, but feel free to use more. This is not a time to be skimpy on the butter. Soft butter on warm toast is bliss.

Drizzle the honey on top, allll over.

Eat hot and enjoy ^_^
