Smelling burnt toast (when there's no actual bread burning) is called an olfactory hallucination.

It is possible to experience olfactory hallucinations when you have a brain abnormality, such as a brain tumor, or if you are about to experience a seizure or a stroke. In order to rule out these issues, you can visit a doctor and get a brain MRI.

Usually, when a person smells toast, it means that someone is making toast. There have been people that say they have smelled toast when there was none being made.
