This one, Chris. You need to do it in two goes or it can burn.

I've got one of those can be a bit hit and miss. To the OP you could just use a sandwich skillet (Ridgemonkey ) or something simular. There also the ones where the bread sits at an angle can do a few slices at a time. Not sure what there like mind.

Those four slice angled toasters are totally crap.

Someone last year suggested the Ibili camping toaster. On the strength of that, I bought the Go Systems version which looks identical. Makes lovely toast 👍

Just use a ridge monkey to toast the bread. Once toasted, butter and off you go. Both the pics below are by using the RM compact toaster on the bank in France last September.

That toast looks good, and your egg poaching skills look excellent 👌🏻

During the 70's in the days of gas fires
We used to use a knife In between the bars and grill plaques then stabbed a slice of bread onto it and toasted that way.
If you can do it this way without burning you can cook a slice of toast on almost anything lol.
