Notes

Chef’s Note

Finding the right bread can be the key to success for this dish. We suggest you find thinly sliced milk bread such as Paris Baguette or Tous Les Jours. Want to improvise? Use red miso paste instead of white or try different jellies or bread. The world is your oyster! Red miso is saltier and will bring more umami to the miso butter, and you may want to tweak the amount of red miso you’re adding to the butter according to your liking! 
Any generic peanut butter will be fine, but Robin’s favorite is Teddy Smooth!
