Ingredients

• 4 pieces bread slices
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, canola oil)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh herbs or grated cheese (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Gather all ingredients and ensure bread slices are at room temperature for more even browning.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of neutral cooking oil to the skillet. The oil helps prevent the butter from burning.

Step 4

Once the butter has melted and is bubbling slightly, place the bread slices into the skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.

Step 5

Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip each slice using a spatula.

Step 6

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet if needed, letting it melt around the bread slices.

Step 7

Cook the bread on the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until evenly browned and crisp.

Step 8

Remove the fried bread from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 9

Sprinkle the fried bread with a pinch of salt while it's still warm. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or grated cheese for an added layer of flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately while hot and crispy, pairing the fried bread with eggs, soups, or other dishes as desired.
