5 slice bread - white or wheat
soft butter or buttery spread
mrs. dash original table blend, or your choice of seasoning

Steps:

  • 1. Toast bread VERY lightly - on lightest setting - and allow to cool slightly. Spread each slice with soft butter, then dust with the Mrs. Dash seasoning. Cut each slice into quarters.
