# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes fancy enough to feel like a treat, but takes less time than brewing a proper cup of coffee.
  • The pistachio butter brings a creamy, earthy richness that makes regular peanut butter toast feel ordinary by comparison.
  • You get texture, sweetness, and a hint of salt all in one bite—it's the kind of thing that works just as well for breakfast as it does for a 4 p.m. snack.
02 -
  • The toast has to be warm when you spread the butter, or you'll end up fighting with it and the flavors won't blend together the way they should.
  • Pistachio butter is prone to separation if it sits, so give the jar a good stir before you use it, and don't panic if there's a layer of oil on top—that's just the natural fat, and it's actually a gift because it makes spreading easier.
03 -
  • Buy whole pistachios when you can and roast them yourself for about ten minutes at 350°F—the flavor is noticeably deeper, and your kitchen will smell incredible.
  • If your pistachio butter is thick or cold, let the jar sit in warm water for a few minutes before spreading, or warm it gently with a spoon so it becomes pliable without melting.
