Toast Sandwich

Burger joints often experiment by replacing buns with patties of meat or including extra layers of bread to create monstrously tall sandwiches, but this dish takes the cake. The delicious filling of a Toast Sandwich is.... a piece of toast. Yep. It's a slice of grilled bread, between two slices of un-grilled bread. You can add a bit of butter or salt and pepper if you're feeling wild. This spectacularly unappealing sandwich first appeared in the 1861 cookbook Miss Beeton’s Book of Household Management, a very popular title that also holds the distinction of being almost completely plagiarized.
