If Gretchen’s father invented Toaster Strudel, then Karen’s father definitely would have invented Fairy Toast.
SERVES 4
These slices of fabulous have all the qualities of a Karen in toast form. They’re colorful, they sparkle, and you don’t have to be smart to make them. Use your fifth sense to design them anyway you want, just make sure your letters aren’t backwards, or you’ll have to put your entire fist in your mouth.
So, you agree? You think you’re pretty or you just love to eat things that are pretty?
• Start with the bread: Straightforward white bread will do the trick. Toast the bread to your desired crispness (or don’t toast it at all; I don’t know your life). Trim the crusts off, no one likes crusts and it’s prettier that way. Next, smooth a nice solid layer of butter over your slices, and do not try to get away with that “I Can’t Believe…” stuff. You know what I’m talking about. Pony up, use real butter.
• Here comes the fun: Cover your buttered slices with hundreds and thousands of rainbow sprinkles. Slice into cute triangles or little squares and place on your prettiest of party platters.
Note: Enjoy with a sparkling rosé, obvi.
