Doesn't anyone else lightly toast their bread laying flat in a toaster oven, spread the butter, then put the bread back into the oven to let it bake into the bread? It gives a nice golden brown color, with butter saturated deeply into the bread. (Use thick sliced bread for this.) Like making garlic bread but without the garlic and herbs. Delicious! The only down side to this is that you only get to do it for a few years before your arteries are so plaqued up that you can't bend your arms!
And for those that worry about greasy fingers... Hey, the butter is supposed to run down your forearms while you're eating!
