Start by laying out the bread slices on a clean cutting board.
Using shape cutters (such as heart, star, or animal shapes), gently press down on each bread slice to cut out fun shapes. Remove the outer edges and save them for another use, such as breadcrumbs.
If toasting is desired, place the bread shapes in a toaster or under a broiler for about 2 minutes until lightly golden. Be watchful to avoid burning.
Spread a thin layer of butter on the toast shapes if you like, or skip this step for a healthier option.
Evenly spread cream cheese on some of the toast shapes. On others, spread a thin layer of jam or fruit preserves.
Decorate your toast by adding slices of fresh fruit on top. Bananas, strawberries, and blueberries work wonderfully for this.
For an extra touch, drizzle a small amount of honey or maple syrup on top, and/or sprinkle with chocolate chips or sprinkles for a fun finish.
Serve the Shape Toast immediately and enjoy your creative, whimsical breakfast or snack!
