Friends, this has been one heck of a week so these breakfast toast ideas have become my go-to recipes.

4 Easy & Creative Breakfast Toast Ideas

Using simple pantry ingredients, you can fancy up toast to enjoy for breakfast or brunch as we spend more time at home.

Let’s get creative with what we have on hand to make breakfast toasts!

4 Easy & Creative Breakfast Toast Ideas

I’ve been thinking a lot about how much things have changed in this past week. If you’re pretty much anywhere in the world right now, social-distancing is the new normal.

Given that we’re all spending more time at home and perhaps depending on more sturdy pantry ingredients for our meals, I wanted to take your regular breakfast toast recipe to the next level. Whether you’re looking for good comfort food with carbs or a healthy breakfast option, you’ll find exactly what you need in the following toast recipes.

4 Easy & Creative Breakfast Toast Ideas

I did my first Instagram Live this past weekend, where I showed how to make these toasts so we could all have a ‘virtual brunch’ together. Now, I’m sharing the ingredients with you:

Grab your toaster, and let’s get to toasting!

Blueberry Cheesecake Toast

  • Cream cheese or Yogurt: The base layer of the toast which is key to making this ‘cheesecake.’
  • Blueberry jam: My personal favourite to top cheesecake but you can use any jam you’d like
  • Granola: Gives a little crunch and brings all the ‘cheesecake’ flavours together.
  • Lemon Zest: This is totally optional, so if you have a lemon around, use the zest as a topper

Cinnamon Coconut Toast

  • Almond (or other nut butter): Almond butter, peanut butter or any of your favourite nut butters will work.
  • Coconut Flakes: I LOVE coconut flakes for a nice crunch on this toast.
  • Cinnamon: It goes so well with the nut butter.
  • Honey: The honey drizzle takes this toast over the top and brings all the flavours together.

4 Easy & Creative Breakfast Toast Ideas

Spicy Avocado Toast

  • Avocado: I still don’t think you can go wrong with an avocado toast, so start this with many slices of avocado.
  • Pea Shoots: I love pea shoots though you can use any greens you’d like; try microgreens, thinly sliced spinach or kale, or arugula – use what you have!
  • Chili Flakes: Here’s the spice! I LOVE chili flakes; my favourite spice store in Calgary ships across Canada too and these are the ones I always buy.
  • Lemon: Just a squeeze of lemon juice brings everything together.
  • Parmesan Cheese or Pinch of Salt: Either works; you just need a little saltiness to complete this toast.

Apple Cheddar Toast

  • Cheddar Cheese: Start with a layer of your favourite cheddar cheese; you can melt the cheese on your toast if you’d like to.
  • Apple Slices: I like a granny smith apple but honestly, use whatever you have in your fridge! Pears work great too.
  • Honey: Honestly, honey goes so great with cheddar cheese and apples; they’re flavours I’d serve on a cheese plate.
  • Chopped Nuts: Walnuts, almonds or hazelnuts. Any of these would make a great topping on your breakfast toast.

4 Easy & Creative Breakfast Toast Ideas

These ingredients are seriously so interchangeable. I wanted to make these toast recipes as easy as possible to make using whatever you have on hand. These breakfast ideas are simple enough for the amateur chefs but tasty enough to please the foodies too!

Make these toasts during the week, even for a snack or keep these creative toast ideas for a weekend breakfast. I am going to make these breakfast toasts for my husband and I to make weekend ‘brunch at home’ feel a little more special.

4 Easy & Creative Breakfast Toast Ideas

However you enjoy these, I hope this helps you make something yummy in the kitchen with whatever you have on hand. Keeping ingredients simple can sometimes make the MOST delicious dish!

When it comes to toast, the possibilities are truly endless! I challenge you to make your own creative toast combos with the ingredients in your kitchen. I’ve played around with fun toppings like fried eggs and poached eggs, pesto, balsamic glaze, chia seeds, and even pomegranate! I’m also a big sucker for cheese, and I find that cottage cheese, goat cheese,  feta, and ricotta are all great options.

And, if you like toast just as much as I do, check out my 3 summer jams for some simple jam recipes as we head into warmer months.

Until the next cooking adventure,
