Whole Wheat Toast

from Asparagus Brie Frittata with a Strawberry-Banana Smoothie, the Week of May 3, 2015.
View the next recipe for this meal.

Add this to any breakfast or a bowl of soup or a dinner that needs a bit more fiber. Be sure to use a bread that uses whole wheat flour as the first ingredient. Avoid enriched whole wheat flour which is basically white flour stripped of its nutrients with some brown coloring and vitamins added back in. May as well start with the real thing including the bran and wheat germ. Also, enjoy your toast with just a bit of real butter rather than a dollop of fake trans-fat laden margarine or butter lightened with vegetable oils. Just eat a bit of it and enjoy every bite!

Ingredients

  • 1 slice whole wheat bread, or your favorite gluten-free version
  • 1 teaspoon butter, salted

Serving Size: 1 Person

Preparation Instructions

If you have a toaster or toaster oven, I would hope you were using it for this purpose.

If not, use the broiler in your oven:
Set the broiler on a low-broil or about 500 degrees. Place the toast on the highest shelf and watch for about 2-4 minutes. Flip over and again keep a close eye as it toasts for another 2-4 minutes.

When it is done toasting, lightly tap the butter onto the toast allowing it to melt gently in.

Serve hot.
