6 Imaginative Ways To Brighten Up Your Boring Old Toast Each Morning

niallharbison

Firing a couple of slices of bread into the toaster is the perfect way to start the day – along with a quick cup of tea or coffee it’s the perfect way to avoid endless prep while you’re still waking up.

The only problem? This procedure is often performed on autopilot as we dream of more time between the sheets. We don’t put any thought, effort or bother into the whole thing, and end up with hard butter cutting holes in soggy toast we forgot to remove before it cooled down.

But no more! These seven recipes will change the way you look at toast forever…

1. Hard Boiled Egg With Chermoula

Sounds like a crazy thing to be eating in the morning, but if you make the Chermoula in advance this is the perfect way to kick start the day and fill you up for a busy morning.

2. Roasted Beet And Cottage Cheese Toast

Would work as well for lunch as breakfast – or brunch if you’re one of those people who actually eats that meal at that time of day, and not at 5pm. Love all the different flavours and textures in this recipe. Perfect exciting start to the day.
