Toast To Toast Time! 4 Easy, Yummy To-Go Recipes
We all love toast, right? It’s a common brunch staple that most can’t live without. Wanna scoop your eggs and home fries on them, go for it. Wanna spread some jam on there, and indulge, live it up. But did you know this simple staple can actually lead to myriad creative uses? Surely if you’re on social media or read wellness sites, the first initiation of this toast trend started a bit ago with “avo” toast and recently, the world has gotten bold welcoming the advent of unicorn toast.
So, what’s up with this trend and why should you get on board with it? Well, first and foremost, it’s a time saver. Sure, omelets are delicious, but they eat the clock! Also, if you’re like most people, the flipping ordeal never ends pretty. No one has the mental bandwidth to slave over a super spectacular omelet, especially when you have kids to drive to school or an office to get to at 9 a.m. With that said, variations of toast provide nutritional goodness, are simple to make and are prettier than omelets (let’s be real, most foods are). Here are our top 4 go-to toast recipes for you to try out this week!
