I love bread, and toast in particular is my comfort food I crave it when I'm sick or worn down. Here, I would like to suggest that you take some toast and put something tasty on it. Thatâs it!
Certainly toast can feed a crowd, but I like this meal for times when Iâm on my own and want a quick meal or snack. It's a great way to use leftovers or turn a side dish into a full meal.
What makes this more like a special dinner than a quick snack is the way you treat the bread toasting it in the pan like a nice piece of fish.
A pile of saute or raw veggies over buttered, toasty bread is the perfect meal for one and a great way to try a new vegetable. I've suggested a few other toast variations on the following pages, but you can use pretty much any veggie dish from this book or invent your own. Add a fried egg on top if you're extra hungry.
RECIPE
Melt ½ tablespoon of butter in a small pan on medium heat.
Place the two slices of bread in the pan and let them cook for about 2 minutes, then lift them with a spatula to check whether they're golden brown underneath. When they are, flip'em over.

Add the rest of the butter to the pan to make sure the second side of the toast becomes just as golden as the first. Sprinkle the top of the bread with salt and pepper. Once the second side is golden, set the bread on a plate to await its topping.
For the toppings, you can go raw or, as I most often do, saute veggies or beans with flavors like garlic and chilies, olives and and dill, ginger and turmeric, or any other classic combination (p. 166).
Instead of toast, the topping ideas on the next few pages would also be great over rice or any other grain, in a tortilla, tossed with pasta, or even on a pizza. It's up to you!
