The Best Savoury Toast Toppings

Toast is one of my favourite things. There’s nothing quite like a slice of toast spread simply with salty butter and I remember toast and jam being the nicest thing to eat just after having the children. Toast can be part of a meal, a side dish or just a snack when you need one. It’s versatile and delicious.

When I’m feeling a bit fancy, I also love Nadiya Hussain’s savoury twist on classic French Toast – full of ham, cheese and a little spice too. It’s delicious! A fantastic brunch option when we’re all at home together.

Think of savory toasts as open sandwiches instead of simply slices of toasted bread. Gone are the days when you would spread something on a slice of toast and be done with it. Now, you can pile toppings high, drizzle dressings over them, add a dash of olive oil or a few red pepper flakes and enjoy it as a full meal, with a knife and fork.

The possibilities for toast toppers really are endless – and when you think you’ve created them all, you can make them all again, sprinkle them with cheese and put them under the grill. Or, make a toasted sandwich from them instead. Toast is one thing that will never, ever, get boring.

What is the best bread to use for toast?

When it comes to toast, I love any kind. A lovely white bloomer, a whole grain bread loaf or a fresh sourdough. From experience though, a whole-wheat bread makes fantastic toast, with a lovely crunch. But, if you want something easy then go for any toast that fits nicely in your toaster. I also love a seeded loaf for that little extra depth of flavour. However, if you’re looking to make French Toast then brioche or a nice French baguette are always the best options.
