This French toast is inspired by a breakfast we had on a trip to Nashville when we fell in love with the Gulch neighborhood and the coffee shop, Barista Parlor. This easy baked Upside-Down Baked Apple Pecan Bacon French Toast recipe with apples, bacon, and pecans takes minutes to make but is impressive enough to make for a brunch.
This Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Toasts recipe is like a hand-me-down, family blanket – old school but the ultimate in comfort.Â
In this super simple salad, pencil-thin asparagus are charred on a grill then tossed with a quick lime and olive oil combo. The twist I added was making a twist on Egyptian dukkah (a seed-herb-nut mix used for dipping bread) and used classic Mexican ingredients like cumin, Mexican oregano, pistachios, and almonds. It’s easier than what it sounds, just follow this Charred Asparagus With Requesón And Mexican Dukkah recipe.
A super simple but elegant recipe for a traditional French-style curd with tons of fresh strawberries, a hint of tarragon, this is perfect on toast, crepes, or served with scones. This Strawberry-Tarragon Curd Toast recipe can be eaten as breakfast, dessert, or whenever you want.
Sometimes we like to mix it up and go high-low around here, like, say, a pinkies-out cocktail party with artisanal cocktails with one of our favorite snacks, popcorn. But then we dress up our popcorn a bit, not too much, like say with sweet-salty kettle flavors and tropical toasted coconut, like this Toasted Coconut Kettle Corn Popcorn recipe, so it’s super easy going but still impressive.
If a bagel and lox turned Swedish, I imagine it’d end up something similar to this Beet Horseradish Smoked Salmon Breakfast Toast recipe. Slightly sophisticated but stupidly simple to put together, if I could, I’d have loaded toasts like this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.Â
Our version of the amazing anchovy appetizer at The Whale Wins in Seattle, this White Anchovy Toast With Pickled Fennel and Apple Recipe is so elegant and sophisticated it’s begging to be served at your next cocktail party.
Wheatberry is super incognito: those in the know have been cooking with it forever, putting it in soups, and salads, and using it instead of rice in risotto. One of our favorite ways to give people a taste of wheatberries without too much commitment is this Chipotle and Toasted Walnut Wheat Berry Salad Recipe.
Our favorite weekend toast in the winter? This Toasted Brioche with Whipped Goat Cheese and Asian Pear Compote Recipe.
I was surprised when we decided to stop in Amsterdam for Off Menu. It’s always been one of my favorite places but I’d never had an amazing meal. But that all changed when we stopped in at Worst Wijncafe, and their Mixed Mushroom Toasts with Parsley Salad recipe change my perspective on the food of the city.
