Stop Toasting your Bread

Ok, I love toast. And I don't mean to knock such a simple, wonderful snack / breakfast necessity, but I think it's time we moved on. To a more consistent, more flavorful, healthier bread-crisping process.

Pan Grilling.

Here's what you do:

Get a nice flat skillet hot over medium heat. Lay out a few slices of bread on a plate or cutting board, drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

Once the pan is hot, slap those babies on and listen to the sizzle. While cooking side one, drizzle the other side with olive oil. Flip after a couple of minutes, and flip again to reach your desired level of crispy brown-ness.

    Wait, why would this be healthier? When I toast bread, i just put it in the toaster. When I grill bread, I start with olive oil. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not against olive oil, but how is that healthier than toasting?

    Is it because we tend to butter toast (post toasting, of course)?
