Yes, yes, of course you know how to make toast, I haven’t gone completely mad. Here are just a few ideas of what to put on it and how to serve it up, you know, for inspiration.

  • cream cheese – an absolute favourite, even when teething and not wanting to eat anything else
  • marmite and butter – for the ultimate savoury kick
  • mushroom pate – we get a particularly tasty one from alnatura, so I’ve never actually tried making my own, but if I ever do, I’ll post the recipe here
  • jam and butter - interestingly, ds has shown that he does have preferences when it comes to jam, sour cherry being the favourite
  • fruit spreads - again, we were able to get a selection from alnatura, but basically is was just lightly cooked and pureed fruit, the apple and banana being the tastiest (also fab on pancakes!)
  • avocado  – yes, really. Make sure it’s very ripe and then spread away. Also very nice in combination with cream cheese.

We cut the toast into triangles – perfect to hold, and not too much at once.
And we use both white and brown sliced bread, though we all prefer the white.
