Starting from Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan, one can extremely easily burn a CD or DVD image to an optical media using just the Finder, no software required at all.

0) If your disk image file ends with .toast, rename the end of it from .toast to .iso

1) Click once on the disk image file to select it.

2) Pull the FILE menu in the menu bar and choose near the bottom: "BURN DISK IMAGE TO DISK".

3) Step 3? There is no step 3!

That's it, hope you enjoyed this short tutorial :) And yes, if you're burning Mac OS 9 or something that's supposed to be bootable, it will produce a bootable disk ;-)
