Toast With A Twist !!

Hello and welcome to the Creative-Capsule ...!!!

Toast is, undoubtedly, the most popular breakfast food around the globe. A simple buttered toast is easy and quick but boring.  So today we are going to give the plain old toast a twist and make it a bit more interesting with just a few ingredients.

Toast provide some carbohydrate and fibre depending upon the type of bread but is low in other nutrients. So it is a good idea to add a few healthy ingredients to increase the nutrient value of your brekkie. Here I am using the pop up toaster to toast the bread but the traditional grill pan will work just fine. For these recipes, it is important that the toast is little bit on a crisper side so it doesn't get soggy after adding the toppings.
