Toast Roundup

February 20, 2020 by Gina +

A good breakfast toast is one of my favorite things to have in the morning. I love topping a crispy piece of sourdough with all the good stuff. Veggies, eggs, herbs. I love it all. I’m sharing a few of my favorite combinations as of late. These toasts are hearty and loaded with flavor, but so easy to make. Do you have a favorite toast combination? Share with me in the comments.
