Multigrain thick-sliced bread, toasted to a delicate brown, with slathers of lightly-salted butter and a liberal spreading of wild blueberry and lime jam.

Excuse me for a minute ... <getting up and heading for kitchen>

Toaster oven, all the way.

Crunchy peanut butter on wheat toast (sometimes made into a sandwich with apple butter and / or sliced bananas)

Cheese toast--a slice of American cheese on soft wheat, broiled so that the cheese gets gooey and crispy, the top of the crust gets dark and crunchy, and the underside of the bread stays soft

English muffins, almost burnt, with cream cheese and apricot preserves

English muffins, almost burnt, with gobs of real butter

Any kind of dark toast made for sopping up egg yolks (which of course brings me to the king of toasted breads--English muffins, almost burnt, used for Eggs Benedict)

I'm ashamed to say that your question makes me think of this:

My apologies.

Why ashamed?  Is it because you would prefer a crumpet?  Or a triple fried egg sandwich with chili sauce and chutney?

In a toaster oven, a lightly golden (no dark edges!) Texas toast, slatered with fresh, homemade butter.

Also good: fried toast. Kinda like French toast, but without the egg/milk mixture. Just bread, coated in butter, and fried in a pan. I also like a fried peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

But the best is crusty, freshly baked bread, dipped in good olive oil.

Oh man. I love carbs.

I eat toast with either butter or jelly, as the impulse guides me.  I also toast the sorts of things that various other forumites (our esteemed Hedgehog in particular) would not agree are really bagels.

I have been known to breakfast upon a sandwich consisting of two sausage patties and a fried egg between two slices of toast (no butter).  My arteries have apparently survived the experience.

Toaster oven convert here as well.

Otherwise, though, you guys are seriously advanced.  I feel like an Assistant Prof of Toast.  No, more like a VAP.

I love sourdough toast.  I just ate half a loaf of sourdough bread, darkly toasted, with loads of margarine.

I'm also sort of drunk.
And still hungry.
I also ate half a jar of pickles and a bunch of olives.  That might be a different thread.

But I *love* toast.  Love.

This thread is killing me! I'm out of bread (and bread-type products)... was going to stop at grocery store last night but it slipped my mind as I drove past it. 

Toast with butter, or butter/cinnamon/sugar, or butter & a slice of cheese (broiled), or peanut butter, or PB & J, or PB and banana... I like to keep it simple.  Although I may have to try out a few of the ideas posted here.

I was going to have toast for breakfast, but it turned into a grilled cheese sandwich instead.  Talk about the best of two worlds!

I love toast. More on the dark side than the light side, but preferably not burned.

Toasted rye bread with butter.

Toasted poppy seed bagels with all the accoutrements. Yes, toasting a bagel means you've cooked it a total of three times, but it's the best way to get that crispy crust and roasted seed taste.

Toast with the March Hare's homemade marmalade rocks. (She's now featuring kumquat and orange-pomegranate varieties.)

We have both a toaster oven and a regular toaster. Actually, it's not a regular toaster -- it's the Egg-and-Muffin Toaster. Put bread in the slots, an egg in the tiny skillet, and a slice of precooked meat on the warming tray, and you have a ready-to-assemble sandwich in five minutes. Yum.

We also have a toaster oven (that we got for 30 cents in the last half hour of a church yard sale).  Our favourite lunch is a cheese melt, which involves toating the bread, putting butter and cheese on it, and then toasting it again until the cheese bubbles.  What can be better than double toasting!

Sometimes I like just a plain piece of whole wheat toast with butter; sometimes I like it with cinnamon and brown sugar.  Sometimes I do the double toasting but with apple slices and cinnamon instead of cheese.

The possibilities of toast are endless.  I think it's a food group all on its own!

Oh my! What will they come up with next!? But is it a PITA to clean?

It's not bad at all. The parts are dishwasher safe, but a quick swab with a soapy sponge usually does the trick.
