Pickled mushrooms and goats' cheese
A delicious toast-topper uses a jar of ready-pickled mushrooms for your next trip to a restaurant. Why not try out some interesting wild mushrooms with minimal fuss and just lay the mushrooms on a bed of your favourite creamy cheese on a slice of toast? I added chives, some grated Parmesan, and a sprinkling of toasted almonds for crunch.
Scrambled eggs and mushrooms
I love mushrooms on toast and that's how I always have it at home for a breakfast/brunch. I scramble 3 eggs into a jug with a very generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, and I beat with a whisk. I place a knob of butter in a non-stick pan over a low/medium heat, pour in the eggs and cook, whisking every few seconds until just scrambled, and I serve on toasted bread with fried garlic mushrooms, rocket and chopped flat leaf parsley with a grind of black pepper.
Tex-Mex–inspired cheese on toast
And for an incredibly tasty and easy quick and easy cheese on toast lunch or brunch that really delivers the taste? Give this Tex-Mex cheese on toast a go, combine your 100g of grated cheddar with a little finely chopped red onion, chilli and tomato, a beaten egg and a bunch of chopped coriander. Pile it onto your two pieces of toast and grill under the heat of the grill until bubbling.
Avocado and egg
Poached or fried eggs make just about anything you can pile on top of toast a whole lot tastier - especially if that anything happens to be avocado toast, that contemporary staple of the modern breakfast table.
Fancy elevating your avo toast to new heights? Spread a little layer of cream cheese or ricotta on the bread, top it with a few slices of avocado and that perfectly poached or fried egg - then add a handful of peppery rockets. Even a scattering of pink peppercorns, seaweed flakes, or chilli flakes will provide a pop of color and flavor!
Avocado with smoked salmon and cream cheese
And here's how you whip up this killer avocado and smoked salmon toast topper: Blend cream cheese with a lime and spread it over whole meal toast. Pile your avocado slices and your smoked salmon (or trout if you prefer) on top. Season to your liking with salt and pepper, drizzle olive oil over your avocado and top with lime wedges.
Smashed peas
For a budget version of avocado toast, smash up some peas instead. Toss some thawed peas (just two handfuls, to be exact) in the food processor with fresh mint, a little drizzle of olive oil, and half a red chilli if you're game - pulse it all until it forms a rustic paste. Smear your peas onto toast, then sprinkle with feta cheese, lemon zest, cracked black pepper, and sea salt flakes to serve.

Tuna Nicoise
This takes on the French standard requires no boiling. The Nioise topping becomes a no-brainer if you choose good canned tuna, spread it across toasted bread with some mayo, and add slices of olives, chopped raw tomato, blanched green beans, (optional avocado), halved hard boiled eggs, and herbs sprinkled with capers and freshly cracked black pepper.
Garlic mushrooms
But I have to say, some of the best things on a slice of toast are mushrooms sautéed in a heap of butter and garlic! Begin by melting a hearty glob of butter into a screaming-hot pan, then dump in some sliced mushrooms and finely chopped garlic. Sauté for three to four minutes until the mushrooms soften up and start caramelizing a bit, then season with salt and pepper to your liking. Sprinkle with some fresh thyme leaves or chopped parsley, and then scoop the mushrooms on to toast!
