Breakfast
Savory Toast Beyond Avocado
Toast the bread firmly enough to support moist toppings. Mash white beans with olive oil and lemon for a simple spread.
What you need
- Whole-grain toast
- White beans or hummus
- Tomatoes
- Herbs
Put it into practice
Add sliced tomatoes, cucumber or leftover roasted vegetables. Finish with herbs and a little pepper.
The detail that makes a difference
Pat very juicy toppings dry first. Assemble just before eating so the bread keeps its texture.
Make it work in your kitchen
Start with a small batch and taste as you go. Keep a note of the ingredients and proportions you prefer so you can repeat the result. For substitutions, consider texture and cooking time as well as flavor; a softer ingredient often needs less time than a firm one.
