Preheat your toaster or toaster oven to medium-high heat or set your stovetop pan to medium if using a stovetop method.
While waiting for the toaster to preheat, lay out your two slices of bread on a clean surface.
Carefully place the slices of bread into the toaster or onto a stovetop pan and toast them until they reach a golden-brown color. This typically takes about 2-3 minutes.
Once toasted, immediately transfer the slices onto a plate. This prevents the toast from getting soggy due to trapped steam if left in the toaster.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly over each slice of hot toast, allowing the butter to melt into the bread.
Follow by spreading 2 tablespoons of orange marmalade evenly over the buttered side of each slice. Make sure to cover the toast from edge to edge for a consistent flavor.
Cut each slice diagonally for an elegant touch (optional), and serve immediately while warm.
Enjoy your classic toast with a glass of juice or your favorite morning beverage!
