Prepare the Filling: If you're using Nutella, spread it evenly over one side of each slice of bread. You can adjust the amount to your liking.
Make the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix them well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Toast: If you've added Nutella, stack the slices to make sandwiches with the Nutella inside. Trim the crusts off for a cleaner look if desired. Then, spread the butter mixture evenly on both the top and bottom surfaces of each sandwich.
Toast the Bread: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Once hot, place the prepared sandwiches in the pan. Toast each side for about 2-3 minutes or until each side turns golden brown and the sugar in the butter creates a slightly caramelized effect.
Serve: Serve the caramel butter toast warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
