Lazy Sunday mornings are made for quick and easy recipes. And what is more easy than a two ingredient recipe that takes only minutes to prepare? I love pan frying bread because it only takes a few minutes and there's not much washing after. For the toppings you can choose to add fruits like strawberries, banana, grapes or even mango; syrup you can go with maple, blueberry, strawberry or chocolate syrup or you can generously sprinkle with icing sugar, cinnamon or nutmeg. This pan fried toast can be eaten with eggs, bacon or even veggies. I love how crunchy the toast is all crumbly in your mouth and awesomely delicious!

2 Ingredient Pan Fried Toast – FAQs
1. What are the two ingredients?
The two basic ingredients are bread and butter (or oil). This simple recipe transforms plain bread into crispy, golden pan-fried toast.
2. Can I use different types of bread?
Yes, white, whole wheat, sourdough, or any bread of your choice works well for pan frying.
3. What kind of fat is best for pan frying?
Butter gives rich flavor and browns nicely, but oil (like olive or coconut) works for dairy-free options.
4. Is pan-fried toast healthier than oven-toasted bread?
Pan frying adds fat and calories compared to dry toasting but offers a delicious crispy texture and flavor.
5. Can I add toppings?
Absolutely! Add jam, honey, avocado, or any spread after frying for extra taste.
