# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did, which is the dream breakfast scenario.
  • The textural contrast between creamy butter, crispy toast, and crunchy pistachios keeps every bite interesting.
  • It comes together faster than you can brew coffee, but feels gourmet enough for company.
02 -
  • If your pistachio butter is too thick to spread easily, let it sit at room temperature for ten minutes or briefly warm the knife under hot water—cold, hard pistachio butter will tear your toast.
  • The honey needs the warm toast to do its job; putting honey on cold toast just sits there being sticky and stubborn.
03 -
  • If you make your own pistachio butter in a food processor, use roasted, unsalted pistachios and let it go longer than you think—it needs a good two minutes of processing before it gets creamy.
  • The difference between good pistachio butter and great pistachio butter is often fresher pistachios and patience; cheaper versions sometimes have more oil and less actual nut.
