Torrada com manteiga, Portuguese toast
Thick slices of Portuguese bread toasted golden and spread generously with salted butter — pressed and scored, served upright in a rack. The Lisbon café morning.
Method
01
Toast deeply.
Toast bread until very deeply golden — darker than you might normally go. Portuguese torrada is well-toasted, almost crisp through.
02
Cut, score, butter.
Cut each toast diagonally if thick. Spread cold butter very generously — it should melt into the hot bread. In cafés, torrada is served standing upright in a rack.
