(A SIMPLE DINNER IDEA)
It’s not often I come across a meal that can be made in just a few minutes, customized to each family member’s tastebuds and served for any meal or snack throughout the day. So when I do you know it’s put on heavy rotation and whipped up anytime I don’t feel like doing any actual cooking or hand dishes.
The other great thing about this entrée is that theres no actual recipe so it’s a great way to clean out the fridge. A few fresh toppings and yummy artisan bread (ciabatta bread pictured) makes it more hearty and fancy and sweet potato fries and sliced apples are typical sides for us that go well.
Here are a few topping ideas:
- arugula or other greens
- basil
- roasted peppers
- avocado
- tomatos
- hummus
- ricotta, mozzarella, gorgonzola or parmesan cheese
- eggs
- bacon
- salmon (lox or smoked)
- salami or other deli meat
- salt and pepper
- balsamic
To keep from having to man the toaster while everyone eats I just sliced up our bread, placed it on a baking sheet and broiled on high for a few minutes. The line between toasted and burned is very fine so I try to keep a close eye on it.

Now that I’m looking at the ingredient ideas it’s not all that different from toppings for a potato bar and maybe toast isn’t all that original, ha! Do you guys ever have toast for dinner?
