Not the biggest fan of typical sandwich loaf breads and regular toast with butter or jam is a bit boring. My idea of toast may be a bit different but when I do toast, it's on artisanal breads, slightly brushed with olive oil and grilled or butter fried in a pan. Prefer savory over sweet toppings.
Some favorite toppings, often combined with other toppings:
- anchovy
- sardines
- tomatoes
- mozzarella
- eggs in various styles
- caviar, preferably osetra
- cream cheese flavored with various ingredients
- various artisanal cheeses
- various greens
- garlic sautéed broccoli rabe
- roasted garlic
- aged balsamic
- olive oil
- various aioli
- pesto
- sautéed or grilled onions
- tapenades such as olive or artichoke
- roasted pepper
- various wild mushrooms, either roasted or sautéed
- prosciutto and other cured meats
- gravlax
- hummus
