Breakfast Crostini is a colourful and wholesome morning dish made with toasted wholemeal baguette slices topped with a variety of fresh ingredients like scrambled eggs, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, ham, spinach, and cheese. Each crostini offers a different flavour combination, making it a fun and satisfying way to enjoy a balanced breakfast.

300 g baguette
Arrange all the toppings on the bread, to create a selection of different crostini.
8 large cherry tomatoes, 1 medium red pepper, 4 large mushrooms, 1 slice ham, 70 g spinach, 2 medium spring onions, 2 large eggs
Make a few of each type. It doesn’t matter if the toppings overlap a little.
Sprinkle each crostini with a little grated Cheddar.
75 g mature Cheddar
Grill until starting to brown and serve.

Notes

As you’re only flashing things under the grill, you’ll need to pre-cook most vegetables, such as mushrooms or sweet peppers. Then, it’s just a matter of assembling the breakfast crostini and grilling for a few minutes.

This recipe is really easy to adapt – we’ve suggested toppings, but you can choose your favourites or use up what you have in the fridge.

Crostini are great for using up stale bread. You can use most breads apart from pre sliced because you need a thick slice with a crust.
