Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Put your sourdough slices in a toaster or on a grill. Toast to your preferred level of crispness.
  2. Add Toppings:
    • Option #1: Fig, Lemony Ricotta & Thyme: Whisk the ricotta and lemon juice together. Spread it on the toasted bread. Top with sliced figs, finely chopped pistachios, thyme leaves, and a drizzle of honey.
    • Option #2: Nut Butter, Banana & Dark Chocolate: Spread your favorite nut butter on the toast. Top with sliced banana and chopped dark chocolate.
    • Option #3: Mānuka Honey & Butter: Spread butter on the toast, then top with a drizzle of mānuka honey.
    • Option #4: Egg, Pesto & Avocado: Spread mashed avocado on the toast. Top each slice with a quartered boiled egg and drizzle with pesto.
    • Option #5: Peanut Butter & Chia Jelly: In a small pot, heat the berries with water and sweetener until it forms a thick puree. Stir in chia seeds and let stand for 10 minutes. Spread peanut butter on the toast, and top with chia jam.
    • Option #6: Margherita Pizza Toast: Brush the toast with olive oil, then add pizza sauce, mozzarella, and fresh basil. For a crispy finish, broil for a few minutes.

Notes

  • Add Extra Veggies: Top your toast with grilled veggies like zucchini, tomatoes, or spinach for added fiber and nutrients.
  • Cheese Choices: Use a variety of cheeses like goat cheese, feta, or ricotta for different flavor profiles.
  • Vegan Options: Skip the butter and cheese, and use avocado, nut butters, or plant-based options for a vegan version.
  • Sweet Variations: For a sweet treat, try nut butter with banana and a drizzle of honey, or ricotta with figs and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
