Now, on a medium temperature, heat the butter, or vegan margarine, in a deep pot.

Once the butter or margarine is nearly melted, add the onions.

Simmer until the tomatoes are tender. This cooking time is approximately fifteen to twenty minutes.

Once the tomatoes are tender, remove from heat.

Now that the tomatoes have finished cooking, slice and toast your favorite bread to your favorite level of brownness.

Next, spread your favorite butter or vegan margarine onto the freshly cooked toast.
