We love toast. We could eat it three times a day, with different toppings. Today’s tip: Go seasonal with your toast, be it for breakfast, snack, or other nourishment. We like this idea (photo #1) from Christine of Wry Toast Eats so much that we’re planning a summer iced tea party, just so we can serve it. Christine, who makes everyday foods look so delicious, tops a conventional slice of toast with a fruit and cheese fantasy: If you prefer the savory to the sweet, try this avocado toast (photo #2) from Bluestone Lane, an Australian-style café “influenced by the renowned coffee culture hub of Melbourne, Australia.” Most locations are in greater New York City, but if you live in San Francisco or King Of Prussia, Pennsylvania you’re close to one, too. You might look at the photo and opine that avocado toast is a year-round recipe, and you’d be correct. The difference here is in the details: the flavor of summer cherry tomatoes over year-round hothouse tomatoes, the trio of colors that evoke summer flowers, and the microgreens garnish that does the same. But for the true summer touch, buy some freshly-picked summer corn and sprinkle the toast with sweet, raw kernels of corn. That’s summer! We eyeballed the photo and recreated the recipe with: Make it so! |
