# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in five minutes but tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did.
  • The pistachio flavor is sophisticated without being pretentious, and somehow works for breakfast, lunch, or that 3 PM snack moment.
  • One slice is never enough, which is the best kind of problem.
02 -
  • Cold pistachio butter spreads like concrete, so if yours isn't warm enough, let it sit in the sun for five minutes or warm it gently before you start.
  • The salt isn't optional if you want the full picture—it's the secret that makes people ask what makes this taste so much better than regular toast.
03 -
  • Make your own pistachio butter by pulsing roasted unsalted pistachios in a food processor for a few minutes—it's cheaper and tastes like clarity.
  • Keep your pistachio butter in the pantry, not the fridge, so it spreads like an actual spread instead of a brick.
