Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons dairy-free cream cheese
- 1.5 tablespoons jam (your choice of flavor)
- 1 slice bread (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tablespoon sliced almonds
- 2 leaves fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Start by toasting your slice of bread to your desired level of crispness. Use a toaster or place it on a baking sheet under a preheated broiler, watching closely to avoid burning.
While the bread is toasting, gather all your remaining ingredients so they're ready to use.
Once the toast is ready, spread the dairy-free cream cheese evenly over the surface of the bread.
Next, add the jam, spreading it gently over the layer of cream cheese. Be careful not to mix the two too much, as the contrast in flavors is part of the delight.
Sprinkle sliced almonds on top of the jam for a nice crunch and an additional layer of texture.
Finally, wash and dry the fresh basil leaves, then lay them across the top of the toast for a touch of herbal freshness.
Serve the toast immediately while it's warm, enjoying the contrast of the creamy and crunchy textures along with the sweet and savory flavors.
