Best thing to put on toast?

[I, Cosh]

I realise that cheese is going to be hard to beat here but let's see how imaginative we can be.

We can all agree that toast with lashings of thick, creamy butter is delicious. For a delicious breakfast, little is needed beyond the addition of an egg or two. Poached, boiled (with the egg chopped up on the toast rather than soldiers) or scrambled are all excellent choices. In fact, I reckon I would be perfectly happy to eat something egg based at every meal for a week without getting bored. I digress.

Let's get a little more esoteric. The other day I'd had a large, late lunch so was only in the mood for a light kitchen supper. Searching the cupboards for inspiration I came across the perfect solution. Not something  I have often but it always hits the spot. Two slices of white bread toasted and buttered. A splash of lemon, salt and pepper to taste.

Crack open the tin of crabmeat, apply liberally to the toast and season as required. Delicious.

So, what could be better than that? Sardines also good, but not the winner.

For the record, I think jams, marmalades and similar sweet spreads should be reserved for children and the senile. Essentially, if you're in possession of a set of adult teeth you should have a more discerning palate.

Get some egg mayo under that cheese and you got a real winner.

Oh and since I'm from Sheffield (these days) you gotta add a dash of Henderson's too.

Now stop waffling (no pun intended) about toast and get on with belittling my opinion about Red Seas will ya!

How about some baked beans?

I'm normally all about the savory Cosh, but the best slice of toast is in fact;

- Thick fresh white bread, lightly toasted.
- Generous spread of Mascarpone cheese.
- M&S raspberry jam.

HEAVEN.

Best thing I ever had on toast was a full english breakfast!

[Trout]

Curry sauce, preferably when it's from last night's takeaway.

[Definitely Not Mister Pops]

Wrong. The answer is beans, black pudding and cheese

Hmm. Egg mayo and cheese would probably be my number 1 baked potato filling but I'm not sure about toast. Unless you're suggesting putting the egg on first then melting the cheese? In which case you may be some sort of demented genius. I sometimes like a thin layer of pate under my toasted cheese but this is worth investigating.

How about some baked beans?

By no means a bad suggestion (particularly with the addition of some cheese and a dash of worcestershire) but perhaps not that exciting.

Now we're getting somewhere! I normally use the leftover poppadoms/naan/prawn crackers for this but I like you're style. As an aside, my dad used to enjoy a slice of toast drenched in vinegar. And he wondered why he got ulcers.


All other standard breakfast items mentioned above are better served with raw toast (aka bread) or a roll.

Demented genius it is then. Yeah its basically a tuna melt but with egg not tuna... and Henderson's relish, but you wouldn't use that for Tuna Melt that's just be so Barnsley.

^Win.

As an alternate I'd go with brown sauce, smoked salmon, poached eggs.

[radiator]

Olive tapenade.

or

Smoked Mackerel pate.

Too middle class?

[The Doctor Alt 8]

Yes!

[The Doctor Alt 8]

For me tuna with melted chease... especially mexiacna cheader...

[Daveycandlish]

Gentlemens Relish (not a euphenism! It's anchovy paste) with a poached egg on top

[Rog69]

Fish fingers and ketchup.
