Toast Topper are such a simple idea that my children adore. It turns a normal boring piece of toast into a flavour experience. I use these as breakfast and brunch but also as snacks to keep them going. Using different seeds creates an abundance of options to suit every taste.
Toast Toppers is a quick and satisfying snack that combines wholesome ingredients with a deliciously savoury punch. At its core, this dish is all about creating layers of contrasting textures and flavours on a single slice of toasted wholemeal bread.
The base begins with a warm, crisp slice of wholemeal toast, offering a nutty flavour and hearty texture. This is spread generously with soft cheese, adding a creamy richness that balances the robust savouriness of the next ingredient: Marmite.
The Marmite is applied sparingly, its bold flavour working in perfect harmony with the soft cheese to create a marbled effect. The visual contrast adds to the appeal, while the tangy yeast extract brings a distinct umami note to the dish.
To finish, a sprinkle of mixed seeds adds a delightful crunch, along with a dose of healthy fats and nutrients. Each bite offers a balance of creaminess, crispness, and a unique blend of savoury and nutty flavours.
Ideal for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up or a simple breakfast option, Toast Toppers proves that even the humblest ingredients can come together to create something truly delightful. Whether you’re a Marmite lover or just looking to experiment with new flavour combinations, this dish is a quick win for your taste buds.
