Happy Tuesday everybody! Quite a title for this post… isn’t it? Well I am hoping to have an interactive post about toppings for your toast. Now of course there is plain butter but I thought I would share with you some of my all-time favorite toppings for toast. In return, I would love for each and every reader to post their favorite topping in the comments section. I think this will be fun!

Let’s keep in mind that the options are endless and it’s very difficult to narrow it down to just ten. It just so happens that I have a couple of different loaves of bread on hand so here are some of my favorites and a couple pictures.

Top Ten Toast Toppings

Apple Sauce (homemade), Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Dash of Brown Sugar - A simple dessert like toast that can be enjoyed anytime of the day.
Peanut Butter, Nutella (or any chocolate spread) and Banana - This stick to your ribs favorite will get you going in the morning.
Butter, Strawberry Jam, Sharp Cheddar Cheese - Possibly one of my all time favorite…. i love the combination of cheese and homemade jam from Mom.
Bacon, Tomato, Cheddar Cheese - A quick BLT without the lettuce… you can add lettuce if you want but I prefer without.
Almond Butter, Honey and Granola - The sweet goodness really fills you up in the morning. great combination of flavors here.
Butter, Garlic, Parmesan and Mozzarella Cheese - The old fashion garlic bread… can you really beat it. Serve this up with a big dish of Spaghetti
Tuna Salad, Celery, Havarti Cheese - A simple lunch that really fits the bill and is so delicious on a thick slice of multigrain bread in the toaster oven.
Butter and Poached Egg - The breakfast classic and oh so good with a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice or even a berry smoothie

Brie, Cranberry Sauce and Bacon - Killer snack and even great for parties on mini toasts.
Chicken Salad, Walnuts and Diced Granny Smith Apple - One of my favorite open faced sandwiches.

Zesty Tip: When cooking toast, always try and add the topping as soon as the toast is popped and at it’s hottest point. Also if you are adding a fairly heavy topping, I like to brown the toast a little darker than normal to avoid the bread getting soggy.

So there you have it, my top ten toast toppings! I am sure that there are hundreds of combinations out there, so let’s hear them. This is a great opportunity for you to share your crazy toast toppings. You just may realize that it is not that crazy after all. Have a great Tuesday everybody. Keep Smiling.

My all-time favorite standby is butter and honey on crusty white bread. A basic favorite of mine is toasted extra-sour sourdough with globs of salty butter! And finally, pumpernickel topped with slices of pear, with a slice of brie melted over the top is just heavenly! Oh, and a shout out as well to french bread slathered with homemade bitter-orange marmalade.

zesty,
too many choices to name!
I love anything on good bread/toast.
just plain butter would be good if the bread is perfect.

I am enjoying your blog.
You seem very happy and I like that you are willing to share subjects such as photography, how to get people to see your blog, etc. You are good egg!

Keep up the great work!

I agree with number 1. Homemade applesauce and toast is such a great snack or light dessert after a heavy breakfast.

Ok, I just found this, thanks to Tastespotting.com. Nice idea!

My favorite, although usually only on special occasions, very thinly sliced apples, a dash of nutmeg, and maybe a little sugar or honey, depending on the apple. Topped with grated Jarlsberg Cheese and put back under the broiler until cheese melts. Open face.

Sandwich: Toasted bread, bacon, honey, peanut butter

Try making the apple butter with Ceylon Cinnamon. I got some online at Juliet Mae Spices, I made a big difference!
