Spice Up Your Toast

Pictured: toast topped with cream cheese and garden tomatoes.  Yummy lunch!

Original recipe from me.

Toast is a fantastic go-to for a quick and healthy meal or snack.  And while butter, honey, and jam certainly have a well-deserved first place as toast toppers, there are plenty other options to explore and enjoy.  Try mixing and matching a few of these on your favorite bread (which will likely be this one).

Optional Toppings:

• cinnamon sugar and applesauce
• peanut butter (add fresh fruit, jam, or sprinkle cocoa powder on top)
• syrup (top with a fried egg and eat like a pancake)
• sausage gravy
• fried egg
• cream cheese
• cream cheese and fresh fruit (bananas are good)
• cream cheese and jam
• cream cheese and apple butter
• cream cheese and sliced tomatoes (yummy for lunch)
• cream cheese and pepper jelly
• butter and garlic powder
• guacamole
• egg salad
• veggie spread
• hummus
• pesto (add tomato and/or cheese)
• tomato pesto
• mashed avocado (add pepper and/or cheese)
• burrito beans (add cheese and tomato)
• tuna salad
• dip in olive oil (add pepper)
• pizza toppings

Also try topping untoasted bread and then toasting it in the oven (350 for 15 min).  Other great ideas on the Food Network.
