# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes gourmet but requires zero cooking skill, just a toaster and steady hand.
  • That sweet-salty-creamy balance hits differently when you're eating toast that actually feels special.
  • It's quick enough for a rushed morning but fancy enough to serve when someone pops over.
02 -
  • If your pistachio butter is too thick to spread, a few seconds under the toaster's residual heat or even a warm knife will make it cooperate without breaking your bread.
  • The salt isn't decoration—it's the ingredient that stops this from tasting flat and one-dimensional, so don't skip it even if it sounds optional.
03 -
  • If you can't find pistachio butter, you can make it by blitzing shelled pistachios in a food processor for about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until they release their oils and turn into a creamy spread.
  • Buy your pistachios unsalted if possible, since you're already adding salt on top—it gives you control over the final seasoning rather than fighting competing salt levels.
