Tasty Toast Toppers
Toast is a classic and one of my personal favourites, perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner, a snack or even dessert. If you’re stuck in a rut with your usual topping combo, give one of these tasty topping ideas a try!
1. DIY Vegemite. You heard right, folks…home made Vegemite is where it’s at! Check out this recipe for DIY Vegemite and fall in love with an even better version of this good old Aussie classic.
2. Smashed avo with spicy crunch. Who doesn’t love simple smashed avo on toast? I love topping mine with this Spicy Savoury Seed Sprinkle and sometimes also a handful of roquette. You could also mix in some lemon juice and mint for a delicious flavour combination.
3. Mushy chickpeas. Simply mush up some chickpeas with pepper and lemon. If you’re feeling adventurous, add a spoon of tahini for a hummus-inspired spread.
4. Baba ganoush with sprouts. Grab some quality baba ganoush or even make your own, spread it on some toast, top it with alfalfa sprouts and hey presto!
5. DIY salsa. Combine some chopped up tomato with lemon and Mexican spices like paparika, smoked paparika, chipoltle and chilli, then top it with toasted sunflower seeds or pepitas.
6. Brocomole. This is a genius idea, guacamole made with broccoli! Here’s a great recipe for it by Veg Web
7. Banana with LSA. Simply add some sliced or mashed banana to your toast and top it with some LSA. LSA has a delicious earthy taste and adds a fun texture too.
8. Berries and yoghurt. Simply spread on some plain yoghurt (I like Vaalia, Barambah or Jalna) and top with berries. Sprinkle with cinnamon, walnuts or shredded coconut for an extra flavour kick.
9. ‘Apple crumble’ topping. Stew some apples by peeling and chopping them, then cooking them in a saucepan with cinnamon and nutmeg. Spread that on your toast and top with a sprinkling of muesli a for an apple crumble inspired dish.
P.S. If you're on the hunt for a delicious and nutritious bread, some of my favourites are Bills, Pure Life Bakery, Brasserie Bread, Naturis or Spring Wholefoods.
