golden crust
Bread's toasted shell
Golden crust describes the ideal outer surface of baked goods—bread, pies, pastries—when properly browned to a warm amber color.
The phrase evokes successful baking: The loaf emerged with a perfect golden crust.
It can extend to any food with a desirable browned exterior: The casserole had developed a golden crust of melted cheese.
