Toast 9 Ways

Toast has always been one of my daily staples. It’s great for breakfast, lunch, dinner and can even make a great appetizer for guests. It all depends on the way that you jazz it up. You can get as creative as you want and adjust anything depending on your taste buds. I have crafted up 9 of my favourite toasts, 9 different ways … there has to be at least ONE that you haven’t tried!!! Or are wanting to try?! Add any of the ingredients listed below in any order that suits you best and you won’t go wrong. Just make sure you toast the bread first, butter it and then you’ll be set!!! My all time fav is creamed peas on toast … what’s yours?
