- In a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, melt the Kerry Gold butter. You can cook 2-slices of the bread at a time. Make sure to cook each slice for 4 minutes per side to make them nice and crispy.
- While the other slices of bread are cooking, you can keep the cooked slices of French toast warm in the oven at 150-degrees. That way, all of the slices of bread are warmed when you are ready to eat!
