Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Fresh crusty bread (e.g., Swiss farmhouse bread or similar)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Ovaltine powder
Instructions
Start with two slices of fresh crusty bread. If the bread is not pre-sliced, use a sharp bread knife to cut two even slices, approximately 1/2-inch thick.
Spread 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter evenly across the top of each slice of bread. Make sure the butter is softened for easy application.
Using a small spoon, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of Ovaltine powder over each buttered slice. Spread it evenly for consistent flavor.
Optional: Lightly press the Ovaltine powder into the butter using the back of the spoon to help it adhere better.
Serve immediately as a snack or with a hot beverage like coffee, tea, or milk for a comforting treat.
