Nutella and Fruits

Nutella might just be the best option out there, especially when you're in a hurry. You can make it more wholesome by adding a little bit more of your other breakfast favourites. Take a slice of bread. Spread Nutella over it (as much as you want). Add slices of fruits like bananas, strawberries or kiwis and dry fruits like almonds, raisins, dates or walnuts. This slice of bread won't just be a feast for your eyes but a power surge to your brain as well. Nutella, fruits and dry fruits will give you the power surge you need.

Cheesy Toasts

This one isn't for the faint-hearted out there who are worried about the fat they ingest every time they have cheese. We recommend this topping simply because it's delicious and good for your soul once in a while. Select any cheese you love--cream cheese, feta or ricotta. Spread it over a slice of bread. Top with herbs like coriander, parsley or chives. Or top with chilli peppers and sausages/boiled fish/shredded chicken to make it almost a full meal. Whatever goes with cheese will be perfect for this recipe, so use your imagination and available options to the fullest.

Scrambled Eggs

Bread and eggs are the perfect combination for breakfast or a quick snack during the day. Instead of having scrambled egg on the side, put it on a slice of bread for greater effect. Heat a pan with a few drops of olive oil. Pour in 2 whisked eggs and cook. Add 2 teaspoons of milk or whole cream, salt and pepper to taste and grated cheese if you like. Season with salt right before taking the scrambled eggs off the heat. Place the eggs on top of a toast. You can add herbs, cooked vegetables like asparagus or onions to it if you want.

Mushrooms and Poached Eggs

So what's the difference between scrambled eggs on toast and poached eggs on toast? Poached eggs, once you cut them, will give you the perfectly oozy natural sauce to drape over the toast. No cheese or ketchup required. And if you haven't tried mushrooms and poached eggs together, you don't know what you're missing out on. Slice 8-10 medium-sized mushrooms. Cook them in a few drops of olive oil in a pan. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Place them on a toast and top with one poached egg. Get the best recipe for poached eggs here. Cut the egg and let the naturally cheesy yolk cover the mushrooms. It's so delightfully messy that you'll indulge in this meal every day!

Vegetable Spreads

Instead of going for toppings that are heavy on cheese or sugar, you could go for this super-healthy option. Turn your favourite seasonal vegetable into a spread and make this slice of bread the best carb meal of your day. Roughly chop any seasonal vegetable you have--pumpkins (kaddu), bottle-gourd (ghiya) or ash-gourd (petha) would be perfect during summers while you could give beetroots and carrots a go in the winter. Boil or steam the vegetables till they're tender. Mash the veggies and mix with salt, pepper, garlic paste, chilli powder and olive oil according to taste, and put in a sealed jar. It will keep for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Spread the mix over a slice of toasted bread and top with herbs of your choice, or sprouts, and lemon juice. You'll love the zingy taste! Try out these 5 easy toppings for your slice of bread any time you like. They're quick, they're easy and they'll change your life!
