Toast has blown up on the culinary scene with the rise of artisanal breads. If the thought of throwing down upwards of 10 bucks for a piece of bread and a few slices of avocado makes you feel like the Man is ripping you off, yeah, you're right. Fortunately, making homemade toast is definitely cheaper and easier to master than scrambled eggs. First, you must learn the art of perfect toast. From there, the toppings are limitless.

Here's our technique for perfect ("ten-dollar") toast, every time:

Turn toaster oven to the toast setting or broil setting. Place bread slices on the rack of an oven or toaster oven. Toast until the bread has just begun to brown.
Generously butter every square inch of one side of the bread, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Return bread to the oven and cook until the butter and bread turn a deep golden brown.
Remove from oven and top with avocado, cream cheese, nut butter, or jam.
