retoasting

Second time crisping

Retoasting is toasting something again, typically bread that has cooled or gone soft after the first toasting: The bagel got soggy, so I gave it a quick retoasting.

The term applies literally to bread products and figuratively to any repeated warming or revival of something previously prepared.
