Use a 3-inch round cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass to cut a circle from the center of each bread slice. Set the cut-out rounds aside — you will toast them alongside the bread.

Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until the foam subsides and the butter begins to smell nutty, about 1 minute.
