Toast pe Post!

In this post I just wanted to share really easy-to-do, healthy and lip-smacking toast preparations. These are really good for breakfast or evening snacks.

Baked Beans on Toast: This one is the easiest to prepare!

You Need:

·         A can of baked beans in tomato sauce

·         Olive Oil/Vegetable Oil

·         Onions

·         Green Chillies

·         Brown Bread

·         Fresh Oregano/Lettuce

·         Pepper, Salt, Red Chilly Powder, Seasonings

 Preparation: Fry some finely chopped onions in a non-stick pan. Add the baked beans and let it heat on medium flame for 1-2 mins. Add some salt, pepper, red-chili powder and chopped green chilles. You can add any Italian seasoning of your choice. Stir while mixing the ingredients for about a minute. Your beans are done! Separately, toast the breads in a pop-up toaster.

Then spread the toasted bread with butter/cheese/mayo/thousand island sauce … I mean whatever tastes best to you. Spread the beans on top, add some fresh oregano leaves or lettuce and you are ready to serve!

Preparation: Boil the spinach leaves for 10-15 mins, chop/mince and keep aside. Boil some sweet corn for 3-5 mins and keep aside. Mix the two together along with salt and 1-2 dollops of cream (depending on how creamy you want it to be) to make a batter. Separately, toast the bread in a toaster.

Spread a generous layer of the batter on the toasted bread and grate some cheese on top. Tada!!!

Mixed Veg. Toast

You must have realized, all these are fairly trouble-free to prepare with high nutritional value. A great alternative to parathas in my opinion J. Also, you can try different combinations of veggies, cheeses, seasonings etc. and do your own experimentation. An example below:

Capsicum, Cucumber Cheese Toast with Sauteed Mushrooms on the side

Try these if you may and do share how it turned out in the space below!

Happy Toasting!!!
