In a 12-inch skillet or on a griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat and spread it over the cooking surface. Add half the bread slices and cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until golden, turning once halfway through cooking. Transfer slices to a 200°F oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining butter and bread.
