More Than Just Toast
Toast is one of the most popular of breakfast foods because it is easy to make and eat on the go. You can pop some bread down in the toaster while you're applying your makeup or blow drying your hair. Your kids can even learn to make toast when they are old enough to remove it without getting burned. But, having boring old toast every day with butter can get old, so here are some suggestions to spice up an old standby.
Pizza Toast
Prepared in a toaster oven is the best way to make pizza toast. Before placing bread in toaster oven, top with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni. Of course you can top with whatever pizza toppings you have on hand. Broil pizza for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Not very breakfast-y, I know, but my kids love it and eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plus it's easy to eat on the go. Just make sure you don't put too much pizza sauce, and take napkins.
Toasty Fruit Pizza
A twist to traditional fruit pizza is to use toasted bread for the crust and it makes for a healthy breakfast. Spread with cream cheese and your favorite slices of fruit for a healthy meal on the go. It helps save time preparing to have the fruit already sliced.
Easy Breakfast Sandwiches
When you have leftover bacon or sausage, make quick and easy breakfast sandwiches by placing a piece of cheese and meat between two pieces of toast.
Some other toast-topping suggestions that aren't so traditional include:
. Cream cheese instead of butter
. Apple butter
. Peanut butter and bananas
. Peanut butter and apples
. Peanut butter and honey
. Cheese and mayonnaise
. Applesauce
. Lunchmeat and cheese
To make toast the healthiest possible, choose breads that are whole grain. Also, choose spreads that are low in sugar and fat.
Next time you get stressed out about making breakfast, just think "toast" and all these wonderful suggestions to make toast a bit more exciting!
