Feeling fancy? Sprinkle garlic powder or everything bagel seasoning on the buttered buns before toasting. It’s like a gourmet upgrade from zero effort.
Want a sweet twist? Rub the cut sides with a little honey or maple syrup mixed with butter. It caramelizes in the oven and makes your bun taste like a warm donut. Dangerously good.
For a crusty French bread vibe, brush the buns with olive oil instead of butter. It gives a lovely crunch and pairs beautifully with grilled veggies or steak.
