Breakfast Idea: Toast Spread

At our house we love toast! It makes for easy breakfast or snack, kids love it!

Three from me: From childhood, my mom used to put cottage cheese on toast, then sprinkle with cinnamon. I think it was a Weight Watchers thing way back then, but I loved it too. In college, I put cucumber and tomato slices on toast spread with mayo, topped with salt and pepper – my first version of a veggie sandwich (mostly because I didn’t like what the cafe was serving). These days I’m using avocado mayo. Like Michelle said way above, I currently love “cheesy toast”. My husband makes it over the campfire – YUM!

My favorite thing my mom used to make me for breakfast is cheese toast, which is just bread popped under the broiler with a slice or two of cheddar, and maybe a little butter underneath :) I still make it!

Why have I never thought of this? Everyone loves toast. But the idea of a toast spread where they can pick their own toppings?! Genius.

Try jam and slices of cheese. Sounds a bit odd but it’s amazing and a staple in our house.

Have you tried the “Everything but the Bagel” seasoning from Trader Joe’s? It’s amazing on avocado toast!

I love these spreads! They all look so yummy- thank you for sharing.

I love very darkly toasted sourdough with cottage cheese, chili garlic sauce, thinly sliced cucumbers, and coarsely ground black pepper. Also copied Sqirl and use ricotta and raspberry jam, neither homemade (maybe someday), on toast and it’s so so good.
(scrambled eggs on toast is delicious but definitely takes more than 2 minutes in my house)

We have hit the dry cereal in a bowl phase as well. Thanks for the tips!

Have you ever done a post on picky eaters? I was so excited by this new breakfast idea, but then realized that my 6 yo son won’t eat:

1. Chocolate in any melted-ish form, so no Nutella
2. Peanut butter
3. Avocado that is mashed or too mushy (firm slices are OK)
4. Eggs
5. Cheese
6. Cucumber slices

Argh! My husband and I both have our own sensory issues with certain foods so we are sympathetic, but it sure makes mealtime difficult.

“Toast party” is what my dad calls any occasion where toast is consumed. When my sister and I were little we went nuts for toast party. Cinnamon toast party, “jelly jam” toast party. When we were a little older, my dad told me he got the idea from his step mom and his younger step siblings. Every night before bed her kids would get to have “toast party.” But if any of the little ones were naughty, no toast party! So sacred was the ritual, that just the threat of no toast party was enough to curb bad behavior. Now that I’m an adult living on my own, I still indulge in a solo toast party from time to time and it makes me smile.

I laaaaav toast.

Currently, my favorite combo is ricotta + agave.

Also, adding hummus to avocado toast can give it a flavorful kick.

My mom would make “toast plate” for me and my sisters when we were kids. She would put a variety toppings on – nothing as fancy as Nutella back then – cut them in half and set out a big plate for us. Now I make “toast plate” for my kids every once in a while and they get a kick out of it.

salted cultured butter and honey never fails

I only have time for green smoothies as I can drink it in the car as I go – so that’s what we all get!
Simple:
2 Ripe bananas (just beginning to freckle, otherwise they are not sweet)
1/2 bag frozen strawberries/pineapple/mango or otherwise
1/2 a head of de-stemmed kale or equivalent spinach
a squirt of agave
and water to cover 2/3 of the fruit. Blend and into sippie cups for the car. I never use dairy and do not miss the extra calories.

I feel like I’ve moved on from the “cereal for breakfast” habit recently. Perhaps a few decades of eating it regularly made me go off, or the fact that toast was everywhere when we lived in SF, but I LOVE toast for breakfast. Avocado toast, PB&J toast, and you gotta add some cinnamon and sugar options in there too!

@alphafood on instagram does some incredible toasts (though I can’t figure out where she gets such exotic ingredients in the middle of London!). https://www.instagram.com/alphafoodie/?hl=en

My breakfast every day for the last few weeks has been two slices of toast. One with creamy peanut butter and raspberry ham and the other with butter, honey, and cinnamon. I then have some cold chocolate milk with it (cola cao). I’m obsessed. Although I should probably start adding some fruit to the mix… :)

toast party! brilliant. My kids will love this and I might be able to get them to eat things they dont usually eat (as in anything combined like fruit ON toast heaven forbid)

This is going to sound super weird, but my favorite way to have egg toast is:
a smear of dijon mustard, topped off with scrambled egg whites (plus a smattering of salt & pepper, to taste)

I actually love simple breakfasts! I love whole wheat toast (Dave’s Killer Bread is amazing!) with avocado and scrambled or HB egg. Or a whole wheat english muffin with almond or peanut butter + banana slices (the perfect on-the-go filling breakfast!)
