# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent without requiring any actual cooking skill or effort.
  • Those pockets of crunchy pistachio mixed with creamy butter create a texture that keeps surprising your mouth.
  • It transforms ordinary toast into something worthy of lingering over with your coffee.
02 -
  • Don't skimp on the toasting stage—undertoasted bread will turn into mush under the weight of the toppings and fall apart in your hand.
  • If your pistachio butter seems stiff, let it sit out for ten minutes before spreading, or you'll end up tearing the toast trying to make it cooperate.
03 -
  • Buy whole pistachios and chop them yourself if you can—pre-chopped versions often taste stale and dusty compared to what you get fresh.
  • Store pistachio butter in the fridge after opening and always give it a little stir before using, as the oils separate naturally over time.
