Ingredients
1 slice whole grain bread
2 tbsp nut butter, cottage cheese, or hummus
1/4 cup sliced berries, cucumber, or tomatoes
1 tsp hemp seeds, chia seeds, or chopped nuts
Sea salt, pepper, or fresh herbs to taste
Optional: Honey or lime juice for drizzling
Instructions
Select a thick-cut slice of high-quality whole grain, sourdough, or rye bread.
Toast the bread until it reaches a lightly golden, crisp texture.
Apply an even layer of your selected base spread over the warm toast.
Arrange the fresh sliced produce attractively over the spread base.
Sprinkle with your preferred crunchy seeds, nuts, or fresh herbs.
Finish with a light drizzle of honey or a squeeze of lime juice and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure the bread is toasted sufficiently to create a firm base that prevents sogginess. Use room temperature spreads like hummus or cream cheese, as they apply much more easily to the toast. These toasts are highly versatile, so rotate your produce based on seasonal availability and what you have on hand.
