Prepare your toast, spread on a little bit of hummus. Add a few slices of an apple and drizzle it with a spoonful of honey.
You can top it with a sprinkle of cinnamon if you like. It’s got great flavor with plenty of protein to give you natural energy for your busy day.
3. Balsamic Tomato Avocado Toast
This is a quick and easy breakfast that eliminates the need for sweet if you prefer a savory flavor for your toast. All you need is a little bit of a cheese spread, some avocado slices, tomato slices, and a tiny bit of balsamic dressing.
This recipe recommends mascarpone cheese for the spread but you could use a cream cheese spread if you prefer. Add your tomato and avocado slice and then drizzle a bit of balsamic dressing for the final touch.
4. Pesto and Scrambled Eggs
Are you an egg lover? Why not have some delicious eggs with a little bit of pesto for the ultimate flavorful toast.
This pesto and scrambled egg toast will take a few moments for you to prepare. You can scramble your eggs while the bread is toasting.
Add a spread of pesto to the toast, top it with your scrambled eggs, and then you just need some salt and pepper to really top it off.
If you’re feeling fancy, you can garnish with some basil leaves but that really isn’t required for the delightful toast to be complete.
5. Almond Butter and Blueberries
Blueberries have a lot of great health benefits. You could also use a different berry if you prefer.
We still recommend a berry for health purposes but any type of fruit would actually do. For this particular toast, you need a little bit of almond butter, some blueberries, and then maybe a drizzle of honey.
Simply toast your bread and then add the almond butter and berries. If you want a hint of extra sweetness, the perfect touch to finish would be a drizzle of honey or agave. Oh so sweet and delicious.
6. Scrambled Egg Toast
Keep your toast simple with just the addition of some scrambled eggs. It’s really delicious and you can personalize this to your own tastes.
The egg and the carbs of your bread will give you a great protein start to the morning for energy as well.
Just toast your bread while you are preparing your scrambled eggs. You can season the eggs and add cheese if you like. Once the eggs and bread are ready, just scoop the eggs onto the bread and enjoy.
7. Honey Roasted Cherry & Ricotta
If you want something absolutely delicious, you really have to try this roasted cherry and ricotta toast. It’s the perfect blend of sweetness and savory that really brings the entire flavor palette together.

This is something different and unique from the toast recipes that you see all of the time so it’s a good way to enjoy a change as well.
It’s also a really great way to use up some chickpeas if you have leftovers or have some that need used. Roasted chickpeas work the best.

When that’s ready, move it to the toast, sprinkle on some salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes for the perfect flavor combination.
10. Whipped Ricotta Honey Toast
Ricotta may not be the first thing you think of for a sweet breakfast toast but it actually works really well when you add the other toppings.
