Note

Watch the bread closely under the broiler as it can burn quickly due to the sugar content in the bread and butter.

For a vegan version, substitute the unsalted butter with a high-quality vegan butter stick.

Fresh ginger provides the best flavor; if using ground ginger, reduce the quantity to 1/2 teaspoon.

Serve immediately after broiling for the best texture. Leftovers can be reheated in a toaster oven to restore crispiness.
