Toast doesn’t have to be just for breakfast or a quick snack. And it doesn’t have to be boring. There are so many delicious and easy toast toppers that work for any meal of the day. These are true, tested favorites you should try, from savory to sweet toppings. Keep reading to learn more about the best toast toppings.
7. Nutella and Berries
Starting off with something sweet, there’s nothing like spreading a layer of Nutella on a crisp piece of toast and topping it with fresh berries. The luxurious taste of chocolate and hazelnuts paired with bright, sweet fruits is the ultimate pairing to start your day, or end it, on a good note.
6. Mushroom and Gruyere
From sweet to savory, mushroom and gruyere is a decadent choice for the perfect meal any time of day. Just start with your mushrooms and saute them. In a bowl, mix cream and gruyere, then spread out onto your bread slices. You can eat this as is, but a great way is to broil it for a few seconds to get a nice toast on it, and then top it with the mushrooms.
5. Smoked Salmon
Savory yet refreshing and light, smoked salmon toast is an easy toast topper. All you need is to layer toast with whipped cream cheese, capers, red onion, and smoked salmon. This is similar to a lox bagel, but just on a different bread.
4. Ricotta and Jam
Another creamy and sweet treat that works during any time of day is whipped ricotta and jam, one of the best yet easiest toast toppers out there. To whip the ricotta, just add it to a food processor or mixing bowl with lemon juice and mix it. The fluffy result can be spread on your toast and then topped with your favorite jam, such as grape, strawberry, or raspberry.
3. Eggs and Spinach
Truly one of the best recipes, no matter what time of day, eggs and spinach on toast is a hearty recipe thanks to the protein and fiber. All you need is to cook your eggs the way you prefer, sunny side up being a favorite option, and saute your spinach. Top on a toasted piece of bread and you have a great meal.
2. BLT
Just want one slice of bread but want to pack on the flavor? No worries, try BLT toast. Spread mayonnaise and mashed avocado on a piece of bread, top with lettuce, tomato, and bacon. The crunchy textures with creamy avocado mixed with the salty and luxurious flavors are heaven. If you really want to go all out, top with a sunny-side egg.
1. Egg and Prosciutto
Eggs and prosciutto are the perfect savory and creamy combination and are an easy toast topper. All you need is your toasted bread topped with an egg of your choosing, preferably a poached egg, and a slice of prosciutto. But if you have the means, spread some mashed avocado first to really balance the salty protein.
