Instead of using a toaster, place two pieces of bread in a hot skillet over medium heat for a few minutes for each side, brown to your liking. Add your choice of butter or oil to either the bread or the pan. This is the same process as you would use to make grilled cheese, except I'm using it to make toast. When you're done, you don't get the dry, crispy, crunchy toast result; you now have a mild toast-like browning on the outside and soft moist bread on the inside.
